Don Gallery will participate in the Online Viewing Rooms launched by Art Basel. The works on show in this exhibition encompass LIU Ren’s pieces from the last two years. Though paintings, installations, and mixed media pieces have been included in the exhibition, the use of toilet paper (straw paper) as an artistic concept, and the exploration of the medium via visual transformation and morphology remains a common thread throughout all of the works on show. Straw paper, as a roughly textured hygiene product used in toilets, is Liu Ren’s main media and clue of his art, presenting his profound understanding of the passage of time, the consumption of life, and the existence of people.
