Beijing Commune is delighted to present “Carving Silence”, Wang Lijun’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, opening on November 30, 2023. Illuminating Wang’s art practice in reshaping the perception of sculpture, the exhibition title implies a skein of paradoxes between the tangible and the intangible, the seen and the unseen, presence and absence. At the core, the exhibition delves into the reflection upon our interaction with the surroundings. To use the artist’s words, “We always want to create something with a solid sense of existence. Yet we are prone to overlook beings in plain sight.”
