Get Real! - Group Exhibition
by Art Scene Warehouse
Location: Art Scene Warehouse
Artist(s): DU Xin Jian, FENG Da Kang, ZHOU Fan
Date: 1 May - 15 May 2009

Art Scene Warehouse’s latest exhibition “Get Real!” features the surreal artworks of Du Meng, Du Xinjian, Feng Dakang, Xue Jiye, Zhou Fan and Zhou Weihua.

Du Meng’s absurd compositions feature a tree growing am elephants with a deep-sea diver inside, a deer with a three-headed bird on top with a steam vent and a scuba diver for legs and a Shakespearean-looking man with a box for a body, which contains a rabbit and miniature men performing various activities. Du Xinjian’s reality-looking pieces feature a silent girl standing on a tree-branch and holding an unusual looking fish and a man covering his eyes while a fish is flying in front of him. Feng Dakang’s compositions feature crumbling, yet elegant buildings, constructed at impossible angles while flowers or planes co-exist, abiding by the normal laws of physics. Xue Jiye’s imaginary scenes consist of 2 battling men on separate podiums, unable to reach each other – so one of the men has torn off his own arm in order to use it as a weapon against the other. Zhou Weihua’s positive scenes juxtapose large-sized figures with small ones floating in the clear-blue-sky backgrounds.

What is real? And how can we get real? The artists in this exhibition show us new ways of perceiving reality.
