Common Wealth: Ye Hongxing Solo Exhibition

The artist Ye Hongxing uses the language of decorative symbolism in her recent works, to illustrate an increase of materialism in developing societies. Her latest paintings are concerned with contradicting definitions of wealth and progress. The simple and direct use of Chinese currency against a backdrop of her own black-and-white portrait contemplates the desire for, and contradiction of, common wealth.
