M97 GALLERY

THE LIGHT OF DAY - HAN LEI SOLO EXHIBITION (solo)

OVERVIEW

EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS

Han Lei works as a portraitist in two distinctly different ways. One series shows portraits of folk actors from Shaanxi staging scenes based on the classic novel, Jin Ping Mei (“The Plum in the Golden Vase”). In this quickly fading dramatic custom, blows to the head with different objects punish guilty adulterers. This series represent the impending obsolescence of tradition and memory in this era of hyper change.

Join us Saturday March 13 (5-7pm) for an opening reception with artist Han Lei, as well as to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the gallery.
