Wang Dongling: Entangled Energies
Hanart TZ Gallery is honoured to announce the opening of 鈥淓NTANGLED ENERGIES鈥�, a solo exhibition of works by eminent calligraphy master Wang Dongling, on Saturday, 23 September 2023 (Exhibition runs till 1 November).
The exhibition features a range of Wang Dongling鈥檚 latest works, including a monumental 鈥淓ntangled Script鈥�, 2 Tea Poems by Su Shi, measuring 5 meters long. 鈥淓ntangled Script鈥� is the culmination of Wang Dongling鈥檚 lifelong pursuit of an art that is both universal and Chinese, forward-looking, and firmly grounded in the past.
Another highlight of the exhibition is a set of calligraphies written on transparent coloured acrylic. Through interaction with the lighting of the space, the rhythm and momentum of the calligraphy are transformed into an encompassing realm of aesthetics, allowing the audience to experience the tension inherent in the 鈥淓ntangled鈥� calligraphy as an impact in public space.
In collaboration with media artist Jeffrey Shaw, the exhibition includes a special feature of two video installations. The videos capture Wang Dongling鈥檚 writing process, and translate the dance of the writing brush into a ritual performance.
