Dance of the Dove

Oct 10 - Oct 20, 2021

"Dance of the Dove - An Exhibition of Works by artist HURXIDA KERIM", with Zhang Zikang as curator, will take place on 10 October 2021, 2:00 p.m, at Beijing Soka Art Space. This exhibition will present 30 artworks by HURXIDA KERIM from the last twenty years. HURXIDA KERIM's unique life experiences have given her nurture and influence from different cultures. As a result, her works present a unique artistic perspective and diverse ideological connotations and embrace the richness of ethnic culture and realistic expression. Her representative work Dovesis composed of a triptych canvas spread horizontally—the artwork presenting a dramatic emotional connection in the background. This painting depicts three groups of people of different ages, clothing, and character traits.  It is clear that the hard contour lines create the classicised depiction of the figure in this artwork. Also, the use of white and several shades of red both emphasise the national character and fully demonstrate the artist's overall handling in terms of the effect of artistic expression.

 

The artist transforms the decorative flavours and expressions of ethnic characters into the profound connotations of the artist's images and refines them in a more contemporary way. This artistic expression opens a new visual experience of expression and exploration. Viewers will learn about the artist's creative journey through these artworks and gain a multicultural and multi-dimensional emotional experience.
