EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
About Garden of Autumn Vapours - Liu Dao's First Ever Solo ExhibitionNature's cosmic breath of life is no better understood nor appreciated than by the Chinese scholar, lost in a bamboo grove, for the garden is a natural landscape for some, and a sanctuary of social contemplation for others. The garden is a skeletal world of Taizu stone, providing strength for the weary and offering courage to the weak. From its playful peonies, and lavish plums, lessons have been learned in the art of leisure, truly, the Mother of all philosophies.
Like the Chinese garden, the works in this exhibition were born first from the tender branches of innocence, peace and tranquility. With LEDs, the network of electronic life inside each frame is homage to China's cultural interconnectivity, and a replica of roots, veins and neurons found in nature. Liu Dao presents the nation's miraculous developments in the forms of blinking, majestic butterflies, brightly shining goldfish swaying ponderously along bonsai trees, and glinting sparrows darting across the sun.
