China in Four Seasons: Guo Fengyi
12 Sep 2009
- 29 Nov 2009
China in four seasons: Guo Fengyi, features the extraordinary drawn works of one of China's most captivating artists, on display from September 12th - November 29th 2009.
The intricate, large-scale scrolls and drawings are based on traditional Chinese philosophy, myths, historical anecdotes, astrology and medical theory.
Her self-taught art is an astounding journey into the realms of energy, figuration, mark-making, the power of scale, and psychic and bodily exploration. Previously retired due to illness, Guo Fengyi credits her recent rejuvenation to her practice of Qigong meditation. Her intricate, colourful drawings map her understanding of the flow of Qi in bodies.
This exhibition is co-curated by Zoe Butt, Director of International Programs, Long March Project, Beijing.
Zoe Discusses the work of Guo Fengyi on Sunday 20 September 2009 at 11.30am.
