Curator Inez Suen and Butter Gallery are bringing a savory and sexy show to introduce Wynwood to a taste of what a four young students of the Chinese Academy of Art have to offer the art world. Last night, a preview look at " (zhǐ) - Paper" revealed hypnotic drawings and intriguing innuendos.
Hailing from Hangzhou, China, all of the artists are in their early 20s and are showing for the first time in America. Don't look forward to meeting them though, considered a flight risk, the four weren't granted U.S. visas. Suen noted that "Each have their own perspective on their own way of art making." They represent a new China and the imagination emerging from this rapidly evolving nation. Why paper, we asked? It was cheaper and easier to transport. All of the works were brought over in suitcases.
Butter, a relative newcomer to the area, usually exhibits what Suen described as "edgy art." "Paper" seems like an aesthetic departure from some of the former shows, which have included Tawnie Silva's blown-up plastic bag sculptures and graffiti influenced art by Ahol Sniffs Glue. Except for Art Asia, bringing work from China to Miami remains a nontraditional move.
