This exhibition include the artist's works since 2007 to the newest serious “Jericho’s Sunset”. This exhibition is also the first solo exhibition of Gong He in China since last solo exhibition in Tokyo.
Gong He is an artist who’s calm and introspects. We can find from his work that he expresses the status of human living, mystery of the beginning and the end of life with all his enthusiasm. The artist tells us by his painting about what he has seen from his point of view with the calm and serious expression in his eyes. The money goes from satisfaction to ashes—form intact money to burning ashes; the power goes from control to violence, from the awareness of knowledge to the information overflow—the series of newspaper, from the search of ideal to the craziness of desire—the series of Mr.Potato’s scars. Life is impermanent, but we all want to look for the Utopia between the life and death, just like the panda with dull eyes, just like the little person pushes his car with a poker face.
