Exhibition HISTORY REKINDLED features the artistic theme and concern of Cai Zhisong’s art. His works shed light on the current culture through a historical angle, manifesting the unique Oriental national temperament.
His scripture series “Motherland”explores on humanity and history. The quiet and humble Pre-Qin soldiers of the series reveal the artist’s thoughts on history, humanity and the pain of life, transmit the Chinese humane spirit and meditative temperament through these ancient intrepid Terra-cotta Warriors. The “Rose”series describes the artist’s view about love, beautiful yet silent, and soft yet heavy. The series communicates Cai's unique interpretations on human affections.
In “Clouds” series, Cai creates lovely clouds with dried white peony flowers representing the karma and unpredictability of life. Leo Gallery and Galerie Ora-Ora are very honoured to co-present the History Rekindled Exhibition featuring these three important series of Cai’s works.
