黑料不打烊

C+N Gallery CANEPANERI is proud to present the first solo exhibition in Europe by Deng Shiqing, titled Forgery of Reality, curated by Charles Moore. 

In a thought-provoking exploration of value, authenticity, and the enigmatic nature of the art world, this summer鈥檚 exhibition at C+N Gallery CANEPANERI鈥檚 Milan space will leave us questioning where art as aesthetics ends and art as a commodity begins.

Born in China, Deng Shiqing's artistic journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of innovation and self-expression. After honing her craft in the formal, yet often restricting, aspects of traditional Chinese painting, she relocated and began a transformative journey, first to Beijing and then to New York City. It was amidst these bustling cities full of new ideas and cultures that she found liberation in embracing new forms of artmaking. This is reflected in the distinctive blend of Eastern and Western influences, resulting in a bold exploration of the surreal as she questions relevant societal, cultural, and artistic issues.

In "Forgery of Reality," Shiqing delves deep into the heart of the art world, questioning the very essence of artistic value within our globalized society. In a series of over two dozen works, Shiqing unveils the intricate dynamics that govern our perceptions of art and its creators with her signature fusion of critique and humor. Drawing upon her own experiences and observations, Shiqing challenges the notion of authenticity in an age dominated by appropriation and replication. Each piece showcases a different yet poignant commentary on the commodification of culture and the elusive nature of artistic identity in our modern age.
