An Ode to Discernment
Eli Klein Fine Art, New York
The group show offers divergent perspectives with an increasing degree of spectator engagement required in order for each work to achieve its heightened-order of realization.
Eli Klein Fine Art is pleased to present An Ode to Discernment, featuring artists Cui Xiuwen,
Gao Rong, Liu Bolin, Liu Zhuoquan, Shen Shaomin, and Zhang Dali.
The works from this
dynamic group of artists require a need for participation and contemplation from the
viewer in order for each work to be fully appreciated. Independently, the works urge the
viewer to inwardly explore the complex realms of visually-spurred discernment and in
doing so to catalyze a dialogue to be explored throughout the gallery.
An Ode to Discernment offers divergent perspectives with an increasing degree of spectator
engagement required in order for each work to achieve its heightened-order of realization.
While imparting common attitudes toward societal and consumerist trends, this group of
Chinese artists contemporaneously tests the patience and awareness of their spectators.
Using varied expressive channels of spiritual exaltation, illusory composition, and captured
tales of omission, the provocative works expose the rich dialectical relationships that
visually suggestive artwork initiates when at its full potential.
From a puzzling labyrinth to embroidered nostalgia, An Ode to Discernment envelops the
viewer both viscerally and cerebrally, providing more than a mere aesthetic stimulus.
The viewer is challenged to extend one’s analytical and emotional faculties far beyond the
visual.
