THE RECONSTRUCTED MEMORY

every memory is reconstructed, and as a society transitions from agriculture to modern industrialization, deep anxieties bubble up as we contrast our present to the simpler old days. Artist Deng

Han (鄧涵), born in the late 1970s, recreates his memories through paintings of furniture and vintage interior decor to provide a snapshot of urban life in the last century. His works distill thoughtful consideration and insight into carefully constructed disarray, a soft and reserved style that leaves room for the viewer to explore the artist’s still, quiet emotions. Deng’s “The Reconstructed Memory” can be found at Yi Yuan Space on the third floor of the Zall Bookstore, Huiji Road, in Wuhan, Hubei province, until March 18. - Sun jiahui (孫佳慧)
