Based on his personal experiences, He Gong maintains an individual perspective on China's history, harboring a persistent desire to articulate the political context of the past. However, his works reveal that the convolutions of time overwhelm his consciousness, leaving him unable to resist the influx of information and human influences from all directions. As a result, he is compelled to record the surge of thoughts in his mind through imagery that transcends time, filled with folds. He Gong is fully aware of the current reality; he merely seeks to use historical symbols and imagery as metaphors for today. He aims to create today’s space using folded time—a time beyond time.
The exhibition displays 16 of the most representative new paintings created by Mr. He Gong in the past four years, including 3 large paintings, which systematically presents Mr. He Gong's latest artistic ideas in his long-term artistic creation.
