This solo exhibition presents the artist’s most recent series of works, ‘Shape of Pictures'. Drawing from his experiences growing up around dance and music ensembles, Luo Er Qi has developed a visual montage, a layering of memories inspired by films, novels, and theater from around the world, including French, American, and Chinese narratives. His works are reminiscent of a world that is familiar yet surreal. A visual linguist, Luo Er Qi's affinity for language and Chinese calligraphy are embodied in his papercut works, which take inspiration from his childhood fascination with Chinese mythology and magical forms.

The works of two French painters, Florence Reto and Valerie Honnart, are presented in this exhibition. Florence Reto’s work shows a French woman’s exploration of a rare symbolism, and her fascination with the objects, colours, natural elements, and figures of a culture which she never ceases to explore. Valerie Honnart's works are a result of cross-cultural references, the artist having studied Chinese Painting at the Chinese University in Hong Kong and engraving, afrescoes and antique techniques at the Institute of Fine Arts in Rome.
