A.R. Penck: Will Sign Become Reality? @ Fosun Foundation

Considered one of the greatest contemporary artists of the twentieth century, A.R. Penck was committed to creating a new language for society through his painting and sculpture. By utilizing a unique vocabulary of signs and symbols, he sought to express the psychological structure of mankind. His work is a unique and nuanced language: what may seem simple and composed of primitive pictographs has a strong sensitivity and depth of thought. This is the first large-scale exhibition in the world after A.R. Penck passed away in May this year, and the artist's first major exhibition in Asia.

🕒 Until Jan 7, 2018

Kohei Nawa solo exhibition: Vessel @ Arario Gallery

Kohei Nawa is part of a new generation of artists whose work is helping to bring a more nuanced view of Japanese art and popular culture overseas, one that moves beyond the cultural stereotypes of candy-cute manga and anime. Instead, it is through Nawa's melding of 3-D modeling, traditional craftsmanship, and almost industrial-scale production that he exudes a sense of what has come to define Asia: a love of the newest technology, paired with a deep reverence for the possibilities of manufacturing.
