“History in Black and Red” Sheng Qi Solo Exhibition 23rd May – 22nd June 2008

The Vernissage is on the 23rd May from 6-9pm

Andrew James Art is proud to announce the first solo exhibition of Sheng Qi in Shanghai. The exhibition will be at Andrew James Art, 39 Maoming Bei Lu, Shanghai, in a period colonial mansion which retains many original features whilst showcasing contemporary art in the 300 sqm space. The exhibition runs from the 23rd May – 22nd June, open Tuesday to Sunday 11am-7pm.

Sheng Qi is one of the most prominent artists in Chinese contemporary art, graduating from the Central Academy of Applied Arts in Beijing. Following the Tiananmen protests Sheng Qi fled China and lived in France before spending 7 years in London where he graduated from the highly respected St Martins School of Art and Design with an MA. 1998 saw Sheng Qi return to his mother land, fresh with ideas and resolute to document the history of China through the medium of art. This ongoing documentation can be seen in his latest show, the rapid development of city life and the history that predates it. This series of work “History in Black and Red” has been exhibited widely around the world to critical acclaim.

Andrew James Art can be found at 39 Maoming Bei Road, near Middle Yan’an Road.
