The exhibition presents the audience with the seven paintings created by artist Xie Nanxing in the past two years, which is different from the works in the early stage of his creative career. The works in this exhibition focus on abstract expressions.

Xie Nanxing was born in 1970 and graduated from the Printmaking Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 1996. His works participated in the 12th Kassel Document Exhibition, the 48th Venice Biennale and other famous art exhibitions. He usually completes only 5 to 6 works per year, because he believes that everything is based on speed in the fast-consuming era, and he hopes to resolve the anxiety behind this speed in a slow manner.

Xie Nanxing does not advocate the special literary nature of the painting. “I hope that everyone who walks in the progress hall is equal to my work. The artist does not absolutely have the right to interpret the painting.”
