Exhibition ‘A World Without Us’

The exhibition showcases artist Zhang Fengyuan’s recent tapestry works made of cotton and wool. In her work Zhang creates semi-abstract gardens, animal silhouettes, tranquil rivers and layers of mountain landscapes, celebrating the mythology of life and nature.

Each speaks for a different knitting pattern or weaving technique with which the 27-yearold artist has been experimented in an improvised way. The highlight goes to a hand-woven installation “Around the Dry Valleys,” which showcases another possiblity of her work in a 3D design.
