Bambinart Gallery is pleased to present “Les Larmes d’Éros” a solo exhibition by Chinese female artist Lily Night.
Lily Night was born in 1988 in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. After studying aesthetics and epistemology, she completed the Graduate School of Global Arts (GA) at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2019. Her artistic practice is driven by an interest in the relationship between physicality and movement, the existential conditions of things, and the relationship between subjectivity and space. Experimenting with drawing, painting, photography and mixed media, her interdisciplinary practice adds layers to and broadens the possibility of contemporary art expressions as they continue to take form. She has exhibited extensively both in Japan and internationally, developing a cross-border artistic practice. She is also keen on organising the participatory NPO multilingual magazine project ‘bpmf’.
This exhibition is composed of both new and earlier works selected from a series of drawings that seek to draw out the Es (Eros) hidden within the unconscious, in contrast to the Ego that governs consciousness. Through colors and forms that emerge from an invisible inner realm, the works question the conditions of the self, the body, and Eros as they are situated within contemporary society.
