DE SARTHE is pleased to present Out of the Time, Berlin-based artist Xinyan Zhang’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Exploring the weaknesses of human nature and existence, Xinyan Zhang’s works often feature chaotic imagery of survivors in ruins, with their eyes, hearts, or other body parts hollowed out or mutilated. Within the abstract space of her paintings, the wounded victims allude to the decay and withering of the modern spiritual world. Desire, betrayal, indifference, among other human weaknesses distort the spirituality of human existence – Xinyan Zhang’s work visualizes this with a particular focus on the social disadvantage of women and children.
Xinyan Zhang’s exhibited works in Out of the Time is emblematic of her creative practice. Born as a result of the past and present, her works strive to keep deliberate distance from fleeting trends. The exhibition title Out of the Timeexpresses the untimely oddness of her creations that still comment on prevalent social phenomena today.
