The power of small gestures

In an age where art often aligns itself with the monumental, a group exhibition chooses to overturn expectations, rediscovering in small-scale formats a powerful means of expression. Through painting, textile sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media, eight artists embark on an intimate, reflective journey that restores prominence to intuition, sensitivity, and the personal gesture.
Each work becomes a visual monologue - an emotional, spontaneous trace that resists formal constraints. Chen Ying’s geometric abstractions, Chi Qun’s rhythmic and meditative mark-making, and Chisato Matsumoto’s shibori knots transformed into sculptural galaxies all evoke quiet, inward processes. Meng Yangyang conjures dreamlike nostalgia through blurred figures, while Ni Hao lets paint flow freely like an emotional diary. Ni Zhiqi pieces together humble materials into fragile visual memories; Ou Jin interweaves algorithmic logic and compositional rhythm. Lastly, Shi Xiaobo distills urban geometry into ethereal, contemplative visions. Far from the spectacle of grand-scale art, the exhibition opens invisible rooms, where minute details become acts of resistance and the smallest gesture transforms into a poetic language of the everyday.
