Ye Hongxing has caused a sensation with her "Paradise" series, mesmerizing paintings of iconographic figures and religious symbols represented with kitsch material. The exhibition also features works from the artist's "Misty" series, traditional motifs sueprimposed on a self portrait, a fusion of history and tradition with self and the contemporary. Very different styles of painting, both achieved with accurate technique and painstaking execution, and both illustrating the artist's view of the headlong development of contemporary Chinese society.
