Galerie Urs Meile Zurich is honored to announce the first solo exhibition of the Chinese artist Hu Qingyan (b. 1982, Shandong, China), titled Keep Silent, at our gallery space in Zurich. In this exhibition, Hu Qingyan has chosen marble, perceived commonly as cold, neutral and solemn, as the sole material for all of the artworks on display. Beyond their discussion of questions internal to sculpture, these creations lead us into multidimensional explorations of society, philosophy, and politics through which to ponder the complex substantive relationships between art, reality, and life.
Hu Qingyan was born in Weifang, Shandong Province, China in 1982. The artist lives and works in Beijing, China
