Art beat... finger on the pulse

Beijing

Minimalist show

Xu Qu's ongoing solo exhibition, titled A Hit, takes a minimalist approach and engages viewers in the discussion of the ultimate goal of aesthetics. He brings a unique visual experience through a 12-meter-high installation called Infinity, which shows the gradual changes of two colors. In The Research of the Time series, including nine paintings and four sculptures, he paints figurative images of ancient Roman gladiators with dozens of colored bars, to reflect human relationships which are mutually reliant and also contradictory.
