Torno a Xina amb la sèrie Blue & Gold i les pedres gravades. Una exposició col·lectiva a l’espai de Fan House a Guangzhou. Del 5 de setembre al 13 de novembre de 2020, en una col·lectiva amb Huang YuNúria RossellWang Yi i Yang Shun. I amb Li Tingchen com a curadora de l’exposició.

“The curatorial selection of this show focuses on the exhibited individual’s common source of inspiration, nature. It is both the origin of ideas and elements, and the primary place of gathering raw materials, tools, and skills. This exhibition thus attempts to highlight the common aesthetic qualities of Serip’s lighting design and the works of exhibited artists, and to assess the dynamic relationship of ourselves and nature in artistic and creative context. The close connection of nature and mankind begins with nature’s genuine providing and civilization’s growing knowledge, and from such connection emerged the desire to make art. Inspired by the action of flowing and bursting water and the arrangement of leaves and petals, Serip designs lighting systems that illuminate the organic vibes and forms. Artist Nuria Rossell uses pebbles gathered from the field as her canvases, and engraves them with unnatural, man made symbols, which creates powerful contrast of two different states of existence colliding into one.” (Patricia Tingchen Li, curator).

“Fan House gladly invites you to the collaborative exhibition of Serip, Portugal’s luxurious lighting brand, and four local and international artists, Huang Yu, Nuria Rossell, Wang Yi, and Yang Shun. For the very first time, ten nature-inspired Serip pieces of remarkable design and craftsmanship are lit up as art installations, showing side by side with creative works by aforementioned artists. Established in 1961, Serip‘s brand identity matures in concept and style through an evolving and progressive creative effort.Just as the artistic career of many artists, such development requires constantly reflection upon the delicate association of one’s artistic ideas to the source of inspiration. The curatorial selection of this show focuses on the exhibited individual’s common source of inspiration, nature. It is both the origin of ideas and elements, and the primary place of gathering raw materials, tools, and skills. This exhibition thus attempts to highlight the common aesthetic qualities of Serip’s lighting design and the works of exhibited artists, and to assess the dynamic relationship of ourselves and nature in artistic and creative context.” (Patricia Tingchen Li, curator).
