CNA938 Rewind - Exploring "Games People Play", a solo exhibition by Shanghai-based artist Ge Hui
In ‘Destination Anywhere’, Melanie Oliveiro finds out where art lovers can view the works of Shanghai-based artist Ge Hui – whose artworks are often described by critics as surreal, meditative and poetic. Irina Stark, a Los Angeles-based art advisor and curator with a particular focus on the Asia Pacific region, will discuss Ge Hui’s first solo exhibition in Singapore called “Games People Play”, a series of paintings created around the time of the Shanghai COVID-19 lockdown. Stark will talk about how Ge Hui’s artworks explore the subtle, often unspoken psychological strategies that shape human relationships, social roles, and cultural performances.
