Pearl Lam Galleries presents its exhibition Dust from the Heart, featuring works by five leading Chinese artists: Xiao Lu, Juju Sun, He Chengyao, Cui Xiuwen and Cai Jin. The show reveals the personal journeys of five female artists over the last 30 years of dramatic change in China whose varied narratives are presented through works ranging from video and installation to photography and painting.

Dust from the Heart aims to explore each of the women artist's reactions to life in the unique historical, social and cultural context of contemporary China. The exhibition title references the Chinese proverb Yi Chen Bu Ran, which literally means "dustfree" and is commonly used to describe an individual free from anguish, grief and suffering. By exploring each artist's different paths and what constitutes "dust" from their hearts, the exhibition aims to broaden the dialogue on the complicated history of women in China alongside historical, political and cultural realities.

Pearl Lam, founder of Pearl Lam Galleries said, "There five artists each come from various family backgrounds and each demonstrates in their own manner how women artists are willing to openly put forward their own personal sensibilities and experiences. I am thrilled to be presenting their works--providing an exceptional insight into workings of female artists in China today, where their journey reflects economic, social and political change throughout Chinese history. I believe it will stir great interest in all who visit the exhibition."
