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.
