Chinese Memory — Peking Opera Figures Oil Painting Exhibition by Guan QiJun

Guan Qijun just tries to redefine the concept of characters - Sheng (male), Dan (female), Jing (painted face), and Chou (antic) in Peking opera that we have already known. In his paintings, space time is reset so that Peking opera master Mei Lanfang encounters 'the forth wall' created by Bertolt Brecht; the hero Guan Gong from Three Kingdoms can fight with Qing Qiong who lived in 400 years later and Bao Yue, the amorous childe is able to date with the pretty Dian Chan who existed in Three Kingdom period… Breaking down the space and time is the way to get rid of the inherent idea and build up a brand new visual surface.


The rebuilt world seems specious but that's what Guan looks for, and, this disorder looking-for is just the most enjoyable part for a creator.
