New York Exhibition | Pure Gaze —— Pressure, Control, Release(2)

"Never Let Me Go" serves as a study of painting and sculpture. 🎨 When people admire the works for their aesthetics and overlook the underlying meanings, they are actually experiencing Bourdieu's concept of symbolic violence — the unconscious means by which the dominant group exerts power over the subordinate group. 🎨At the same time, the beauty of the works combined with the rich underlying theoretical thinking and criticism makes her works highly popular in both the art market and academic circles. She wrote in her artist statement: “The method of my practice, kinbaku-bi, the beauty of tight binding, has brought me an understanding of material accountability—that the inanimate object, too, suffers bruising, welting, scarring and indentations under pressure, and retains the marks of this duress.” 🎨 Even inanimate materials leave indelible marks when subjected to pressure. 📍 White Cube 9.2-10.18, 2025 #ContemporaryArt #Artwork #Exhibition 🎨🌟
