Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present China contemporary ink artist, Cai Jinwei’s inaugural Hong Kong solo exhibition, titled “Flora Universe”.
“Flora Universe” is a collection of Jinwei’s latest works. With her superb mastery of the “gongbi” painting technique, Jinwei challenges the traditional medium and genre with her refreshing compositions of flowers and butterflies, all exquisitely executed in the “ink, color, water and pigment boneless painting method”. Weaving poetry and elegance into her paintings, she portrays surreal microcosms of flowers and butterflies, some in surreal settings bathed in intense washes of saturated hues and mysterious light; while in others, in calm, lightly rendered settings featuring highly refined brushworks.
