Fu Xiaotong and Xiao Mao: Recent Works
Exhibition Dates: September 8, 2023 – October 25, 2023
Chambers Fine Art and Cristina Grajalas Gallery are pleased to announce the opening on
September 8, 2023 of Fu Xiaotong & Xiao Mao: Recent Works as a collaboration. Recent Works will be shown in dialogue with a collection of 20th Century furniture by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, and designed by the esteemed New York-based interior designer, Young Huh.
For the exhibition opening on September 8th At Cristina Grajales Gallery, Chambers Fine Art will
be presenting the work of two artists – Fu Xiaotong (b. 1976, Shanxi ) and Xiao Mao ( b. 1984,
Henan) – both of whom explore their chosen medium, paper in the case of Fu Xiaotong and plaster
in the case of Xiao Mao, with singular intensity. That being said, the paths by which they arrived at
their current modus opera did are quite distinct from one another.
In Fu Xiaotong & Xiao Mao: Recent Works, artists converge, weaving nature’s essence into their
creations. Mao’s plaster sculptures echo history and fleeting allure. Light interacts with form,
transcending limits, and embodying nature’s rhythm. Xiaotong’s Xuan paper explorations reveal
tactile poetry. Delicate needlework unveils its essence, transitioning from landscapes to captivating
abstractions. Precision blurs creator and creation, as LaVerne’s bronze and pewter pieces embody
nature’s vitality and the passage of time.
As the exhibitions unfold, experience harmony, and reflect on your place in this grand narrative.
The tactile beauty of these works captures the timeless dialogue between human hands and nature’s spirit, showcasing art’s profound essence.
