Regarded as one of China’s most mature and wide-ranging contemporary painters, Wang Xingwei will mount a large-scale retrospective in UCCA’s Great Hall. In keeping with the artist’s famously quirky sensibility, the exhibition will be organized neither chronologically nor by subject matter, but by the relationship of the subject to the canvas, with four main sections devoted to works in frontal, rear, profile, and partial profile, including nearly a third of his total output since he began painting in 1991.

To be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue.
