Boers-Li is pleased to announce “Extended Landscape”, a solo exhibition by the artist Xue Feng, in Gallery 2 from 15th September - 16th October, 2011.

“Extended Landscape” includes the artist’s paintings from over the past three years, and also reflects the artist’s recent reflections on the interrelation of images, cultural psychology and vision in landscapes. Perhaps the earliest motif in Xue Feng’s paintings originates in the bushes and dead branches that stretch continuously over long distances and throughout the whole year in Hangzhou (the city where he lives). These plants dividing the traffic flow and delineating private spaces are only part of the artist’s memory, and the earliest theme in his works. Xue Feng’s emphasis is not on expressing the objective existence of those plants and landscapes, but in treating landscape as rhetoric of psychological and personal experience, an attempt to show the interrelation in a given landscape or even between different landscapes.

Xue Feng was born in Zhejiang. He currently lives and works in Hangzhou.
