Qiu Xiaofei Double Pendulum at Pace Gallery

New York—Pace Gallery is pleased to announce Double Pendulum, Qiu Xiaofei’s first solo exhibition in North America. Comprised of a group of new paintings, the exhibition will be on view at 510 West 25th Street from March 11 to April 23, 2016. An opening reception for the artist will be held Thursday, March 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue with essay by Danielle Shang.

Qiu’s work is concerned with the expression of psychological and cultural forces through art, painting especially. The artist spent approximately the first decade of his career working in a representational style, painting objects from his personal and familial history to address his relationship with the past. Continuing to interrogate these same ideas, Qiu shifted to an abstract style circa 2012, exploring the potential of gestures, forms and colors to express the social subconscious.
