Shi Hui @Giardini & Arsenale, Venice, Italy

Group Exhibition “60th Venice Biennale - China Pavilion - Atlas: Harmony In Diversity”

Shi Hui will represent China at the 60th Venice Biennale China Pavilion exhibition “Atlas: Harmony In Diversity” with her works Writing-Non-Writing:The Eight Principles of Yong, Writing-Non-Writing : Contemplation, and Writing-Non-WritingEchoes of the Epigraph. The artist has taken writing as one of the themes of her practice in recent years. She focuses on the similarity between the weaving of fiber art and writing, and looks back at the flowing civilization of mankind with an intention that is always pure.

 

The Eight Principles of Yong is influenced by calligraphy, incorporating the brushstroke structure of "The Eight Principles of Yong", which shares the common origin of calligraphy and painting. It replaces drawing with writing, using calligraphic strokes to paint, and recombines these strokes into a visually appealing abstract expression; Contemplation originates from the image of the stele in "Reading the Stele". It is a classic theme in the history of Chinese traditional culture, conveying the scholar's profound contemplation of history; Echoes of the Epigraph uses Xuan paper as material, creating the ambiance and appearance of stele inscriptions. The stele maintains a simple and pure style, conveying an ancient and elegant aesthetic.
