If you liked Bu Shi's solo show 'The Lighthouse', you might enjoy the catalog too. Now available at the gallery and online! Published on the occasion of his first solo show in the US and with an interview about his use of symbols and their meaning.
"At the beginning, there were no symbols. My painting started from still life studies with extremely low contrast and brightness. The symbols began to appear around four to five years ago. They first emerged from the objects I repeatedly chose: for example, marquetry boxes, small ivory skulls I carved, stone ornaments on the table, shells, and so on. Or from images that lingered in my mind: pine trees by the sea, swamps, beaches, flame motifs in Buddhist sculpture, moths, nested spaces." (cit. Bu Shi)
