Yu Hong: Islands of the Mind

London, 27 September – 30 November 2024

Yu Hong: Islands of the Mind

For her first solo exhibition in London, Yu Hong presents a series of large-scale new acrylic-on-canvas paintings. Based between Beijing and New York, the artist, who has been described as one of the most important voices of her generation, unveils a selection of poignant and poetic paintings that each explore a distinctive state of mind or consciousness. Inspired by Arnold Böcklin’s Island of the Dead (1880-1901), this suite of paintings expands on the body of work unveiled in Yu Hong’s solo exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah in 2023, and follows her first major exhibition in Europe, where she transformed the Chiesetta della Misericordia in Venice through a series of new works, organised by The Asian Art Initiative of the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
