Yu Jin
This solo exhibition presents the work of Yu Jin, whose painting practice seeks to recall fragmented memories and indistinct pasts. Presented as the third edition of the gallery’s nighttime exhibition series, the exhibition takes place with the gallery lights off, inviting visitors to view the paintings by flashlight. The title refers to the leopard described near the summit of Kilimanjaro in the opening passage of Ernest Hemingway’s The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The unanswered question of what the animal sought at that altitude provides a point of departure for the artist’s attempt to retrieve incomplete pasts through painting and allow them to grow anew. Yu Jin conceives of The Leopard of Kilimanjaro as a theoretically limitless work, encompassing an ongoing search. In the darkened gallery, portions of each painting emerge as visitors direct their flashlights across its surface. The movement of light becomes part of the viewing process, leaving the scope, sequence, and distance of each encounter to the viewer.
