The slabs and the burial objects, which have lost their original appearance,&nbsp; are a record of the tomb. These slabs are unknown, unreadable. What is undeniable is that they were once &nbsp;gorgeous. <img width="5961" height="3974" width_o="5961" height_o="3974"

04:49:50 +0000 XINGRUI XU https://xingruixu.com/Remove-Mountains Remove Mountains Curated by Yunyao Que Location: Chicago Date: 2022 Removing Mountains presents the artist’s bold attempts to transform clay into various forms: a mountain composed of numerous curving columns, vivid Buddha heads with deep cracks, and abstract ceramic paintings. Xu’s idea derives from an ancient fable about an elderly man who firmly believes that he and his descendants can remove two mountains through endless daily efforts. Likewise, the artist encounters the force of nature during his interaction with the earthy material, and this exhibition reveals his enduring journey in using ceramics to interpret and understand the world. <img width="5906" height="3937" width_o="5906" height_o="3937"

2022 05:40:36 +0000 XINGRUI XU https://xingruixu.com/Buddha-Forsaken Buddha Forsaken Date: 2018-2019 Having lived in both China and the US for years, Xu has been exposed to traditional eastern ideology and innovative concepts in western contemporary art. He believes in the possibility of blurring cultural boundaries through conceptual art. Xu chooses to reconstruct people’s view of the Buddha, a traditional icon. Under his hand, each Buddha’s head comes into view with either glossy or rough textures and various glazed colors from porcelain-like white to jade and bronze. What is more important to Xu is not the Buddha as a deified symbol but the individual human labor behind the construction of each cultural icon. Therefore, under his hands, deep parallel cracks run through each individual Buddha’s head as the signature of the Artist. <img width="7064" height="4709" width_o="7064" height_o="4709"

XINGRUI XU https://xingruixu.com/Slab-1 Slab Photo by Ating Weng Location:&nbsp; Gallery 1922 ,Chicago Date: 2022 Along with the creation of mountains, the artist keeps thinking about the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Inspired by the flexibility and malleability of clay, Xu makes slabs as canvas and then paints and sprays colorful slips on them. Some clay boards even have wavy upper edges like the jagged mountain ranges. The gradient colors remind viewers of different weather and natural landscapes: The cyan is like the mountain with the drizzle, and the green is like the forest enveloped in fog. Each painting leaves a space for the viewers to contemplate the tranquility of an abstracted landscape. <img width="5472" height="3450" width_o="5472" height_o="3450"
