Nan Ke Gallery will present Wencun Chen's solo exhibition Make a Sentence on 24th December 2023. The exhibition will feature a range of works from Wencun's artistic explorations, which focus on experimenting with the power of words and demonstrate the artist's process of expanding the boundaries of creativity and expression.
In Wencun's works, the element of words repeatedly appears in various corners of different art media. These words are often fragmented, residing in the viewer's vision in the form of "glimpses", as if passing by roadside slogans in a speeding car, leaving a strong but ambiguous fragmentary impression of the moment when the words fall on the retina. The "language" is disassembled into basic components consisting of individual words, which are then reorganised to form a new language system of artistic expression. With the help of words, an element that can be "uncontrollably understood", the artist takes a strong stance and occupies the viewer with his artistic connotations.
