Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

And that has made all the difference.

 

I took the one less traveled by,

as wrote by the poet Robert Lee Frost (1874 – 1963) in his famous poem The Road Not Taken, life 

could be full of ruggedness and loneliness, especially one that pursues art. WU Yiming’s ink painting 

Camouflage 3 depicts an imagery of the contemporary urban wood with outstanding brushworks 

and dripping. Light and shadow dance to poetic rhythm within a world composed of green, brown, 

grey and blank, where two trees could be made out from the camouflage pattern, resembling what 

we might be confronted with in the labyrinth of life. 

 

Marina Cruz continues her exploration originated from old family dresses. In her recent painting, 

White Lines on Red Horizontals, details of a red dress are rendered exquisitely showing the textures 

of threads, folds, cuts and seams. Rich expression and feel of the fabric implicate the past stories 

and history, leading us to look back at the paths we have taken. 

 

Unseen consciousness and hidden order beneath the presentation have always fascinated Cătălin 

Petrişor. Blended with scientific reason and poetic romanticism, Petrişor’s work emphasizes on the 

conversation between human and the nature. In this exhibition, he takes us into the world of 

thoughts and ideas where real and airy elements interlace with each other. Doubts, searching and 

reflection could lead us to new horizons and the ongoing Contemporary Art is like a wood where 

the whole picture is hard to grasp but possibilities are limitless, where we shall continue our pursuit

of touching scenery and inspirations.
