梵高再现Van Gogh Alive

Therefore, I Am

Sep 25 – Oct 31, 2021

📍SPURS Gallery | 798 Art District

Free

The exhibition “Therefore, I am,” featuring Song Kun, Jesse Mockrin and Mira Dancy, opened on September 25 in Spur Gallery.

All three artists work mainly in painting, and while their works touch on different subject matter, all are in relation to the body, sometimes shaping the body into “cyborg” nudities, sometimes clustering figures and portraits into vast historical paintings and themes, or sometimes weaving vibrant images of femininity out of highly saturated colors. “Therefore, I am” could be understood as shared goal of the artists, to use the body as a medium to depict sincere images of the body and trace out their own trajectories.

“The images aren’t perfections, but amalgams of all the who’s we were standing in the mirror when we saw our bodies flicker on the horizon.” - Mira Dancy
