Agathe de Bailliencourt: Water, Colour, Recordings
29 August - 3 October 2014 French artist Agathe de Bailliencourt’s solo exhibition Water, Colour, Recordings dealt with the question of horizon as one of painting’s most basic acts in defining time, space, and a scale of infinity.

By applying an extended version of watercolor-technique on untreated linen canvas, de Bailliencourt turns the perspective of a romantic tradition of landscape painting, the imagination of a distant past, towards an open futurist vision.

Qiu Jie: Solo Exhibition
