Grace Weaver: Painters & Portraits

October 28th, 2023 – February 25th, 2024

Yuz Museum is pleased to present “Painters & Portraits,” the first institutional solo exhibition of the artist Grace Weaver in Mainland China, from October 28, 2023 to February 25, 2024 at the Yuz Project Space of Art. Weaver’s artistic oeuvre is an exploration of a nuanced and somewhat enigmatic sentiment associated with the “liminal space.” Her creative practice deftly captures the evanescent fragments of everyday existence through an acute intuition, offering an exposition of the uncanny that resides within quotidian life. Weaver’s work serves as an in-depth contemplation of the essence of painting – a medium that occupies the intermediary realm between mirror and statue, both the object and the subject of projection. Through her portrayal of contemporary life’s ephemeral moments, the artist unravels the dynamic interplay between art and the mundane, the self and subjectivity, as well as existence and reality.
