David Diao “I lived there until I was 6…”
Postmasters Gallery
This event has ended.
David Diao left his home in China under extreme circumstances 59 years ago at the moment of the Communist takeover. The property was confiscated and made into the offices of the Sichuan Daily. By the time of his first visit back 30 years later, the house had been demolished.
For years Diao has sought to render his charged feelings about this loss into a group of paintings. He finally did so for his first solo exhibition in China in March 2008 at the Courtyard Gallery. For his 10th show since 1985, Postmasters Gallery is proud to present this version with new and additional works. The subject has grown into an ongoing series.
