With a diverse body of work spanning watercolour landscapes, sculpture and Chinese calligraphy, Zhang Chi’s art practice carries with it a sense of incompleteness and shows us that the most extraordinary details paradoxically emerge in the ordinary. A cloud, a cup of afternoon tea and a street corner: these quotidian, seemingly insignificant fragments of everyday life are elevated into something transcendent, whispering to us. 

 

For this exhibition, calligraphic imagination takes root in the most unexpected corners of Small Gallery: a glass window, a shower screen, a roll of toilet paper, or a light bulb. These experiments put into play the relations between visibility and invisibility, between exhibition and non-exhibition spaces, and between art creation and curation.
