This event has ended.

Chambers presents the latest examples of Wu Jian’an’s ongoing series 500 Brushstrokes, on which work commenced in 2016. The abstract formal language characteristic of these works came as a considerable surprise to Wu’s admirers as until then there had been a strong element of figuration in all his major series of paper cuts from 2003 onwards with the series known as Daydreams. Alongside the works from this series, we will also feature a paper-cut piece entitled Shapeshifting Diety, created using Wu Jian’an’s signature waxed paper-cut figures that are hand-dyed and then stitched onto a silk background.
