Dong Xiaochi: Petrichor

Former artist-in-residence Dong Xiaochi is showing his recent works in his first solo show in Hong Kong 'Petrichor'.

Drawing inspiration from artificial landscapes of different scales, including traditional Chinese gardens, botanical gardens, and miniature ecosystems. Dong explores diverse concepts related to simulating, imitating, and compressing nature. His creative endeavours primarily encompass painting and mixed-media pieces. By creating images saturated with hints of light, humidity and atmosphere, Dong aims to give forms to contemporary images of nature.

Dong Xiaochi was in residence from November 2020 to March 2021 and his artistic trace can viewed in our Virtual Museum. He currently lives and works in London, UK.
