In this exhibition, Fangmin Wu’s paintings reflect the feeling of returning to nature following our urban confinement during two long years of lockdowns and isolation.

In the Urban series, he wants to impart that feeling of a crowded city atmosphere by showing famous landmarks and familiar neighbourhoods. The Rock Flower series acts as a contrast, exploring what it means to return to nature. Wu paints trees, sea reefs and rock moss as a timeless representation of our natural environment.
