Galerie Urs Meile is pleased to announce artist Meng Huang’s (b. 1966, in Beijing) exhibition BO (Waves). As a Chinese artist who spends part of his time in Berlin, Meng Huang has embedded his perspective on history, derived from his personal experiences, into the background of his unique artworks. He is primarily a painter, but he also works in other media, such as photography and installation. This exhibition will extend the focus on new developments in his “Water” paintings. In his new series of paintings the waves are a metaphor for the act of forgetting. Meng is recording – witnessing – the movements of the waves, making their momentary states somehow fixed and permanent. The paintings in different sizes will be joined by the installation Names consisting of 52 porcelain plates, each of them embodies a name of a person died in Tibet in blind language. The artist will be present at the opening April 26, 5.30 – 7.30 pm.
