The DF2 Gallery is hosting the opening reception for Li Qing’s “Collision in the Air,” a new series of 8 quadriptychs that contemplate, construct and deconstruct daily events with different compositions.
Qing takes two analogous paintings, while still wet, and presses them face-to-face. When the works are pulled apart, two new mirror images are created. Emerging from this process are compositions that come from the artist’s conscious actions and the chance interactions of the painting’s physical elements.
Placing the series of images together, Qing invites the viewer to examine the shifts of time, physicality, space, and memory. The juxtaposition of the images is used to unveil the tension between the related yet divergent subjects.
In the end, viewers are rewarded with messages, often humorous and satirical, camouflaged in the subtle process of undoing and uniting.
