Shang Yixin’s practice traverses painting and installation, and is especially marked by his persistent attempts to employ varied mediums to convey artistic ideas. The upcoming exhibition is comprised of the artist’s three latest installation works, all of which were produced after he turned to light and several other new mediums as sources for experimentation in 2008. The mutually dependent, mutually molding, and mutually transforming relationships between light, matter, and shadow constitute a motif that has always interested the artist. Through a constantly self-adjusting practice, Shang addresses and examines the relationships between viewing and being viewed, individual and community, and logic and cognition.
