Press release
Zhai Liang is an excellent storytelling artist. His works can always lead audiences to endless imagination. What he especially tells is not just that the story is confined in itself, but the “story” hidden under it, such as the story of “Text”, the story of “Logic”, the story of “Narrative”, and so on. These stories are then transformed into paintings and 3-D works. Take his trilogy of exhibitions --- “The Garden of Forking Paths” as an example, which were presented at A Thousand Plateaus Art Space three times from 2011 to 2015. The inspiration of this work comes from Borges’s work of the same name, and together they narrate the complex relationships among “Readers”, “Critics” and “Author” beyond this fantastic story. Zhai Liang transformed this relationship into visual language of painting, highlighting the feedback and imagination of viewers, as well as the spark between artist’s different creative demands. The work pulls the audience into a field of thoughts where high-speed operations occur. Later on, he created the “The Night Ferry” series, a new story originated from “Library” and “Notes”.
