Overview

Gallery rosenfeld is delighted to present Xue Ruozhe's second solo exhibition "Chronoscape". This exhibition accentuates Ruozhe Xue’s ongoing musings on painting as an inherently time-based medium.

Using painting as their main artistic approach, Xue’s works explore the re-contextualisation and re-enchantment of figurative painting in contemporary media ecology, in the rift between painting and imagery, painting and its own history. Underneath the restrained pictorial narrative are Xue’s hints about what has yet to be presented or is about to happen. Working with a highly restricted methodology, Xue pushes the psychological density of their paintings to the limit, the reality is then distorted by constant subtraction until the paintings reach a state of suspension and stagnation.
