Each Modern is pleased to announce “Self-portrait”, the latest solo exhibition by Chinese artist Xu Jiong, will be on display beginning May 31st. A departure from his usual abstract black and white ink works, Xu Jiong has experimentally transposed his unique ink painting method into colored paints on the acrylic sheets, creating a series of self-portraits without portraits. Through tower-like forms, and old and new works fused together, Xu’s conceptual paintings reexamine the artist’s complex identity through multiple imagined perspectives. Xu uses the personal to lead viewers into contemplations on history and identity.
