Gladstone is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Guo Fengyi, the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery since announcing their representation in 2018. This show visually and conceptually explores the three major bodies of work that Guo created during her lifetime, and demonstrates the breadth and complexity of her ever-explorative practice and long-lasting impact on contemporary Chinese art.
