ShanghART would like to announce the following exhibitions:

PU JIE: "Got Problem" - Narrative, energetic oil paintings reflecting Pu Jie vision of the city he lives in; commercialism, old streets, night life, politics, history, Chinas youth, everything what he sees and feels in this fast paced city finds he puts with relentless energy on his paintings. "… Pu Jie could probably be considered one of the most colourful artists of our times in the Chinese contemporary art world. Colourful not because he uses bright, strong colors in all his works, but of how Pu Jie's work interwines history, culture, the society, lifestyle - Pu Jie is constantly questioning the meaning of life, struggling to find equilibrium especially in this fast changing city of Shanghai." (Alison Tan) - For a preview of the exhibition please visit our Website.
- November 4 to 14. Daily from 10:00 to 19:00 (Opening November 4 from 18:00 to 20:00)

YU YOUHAN: "Ah, Us!" - His different depictions of Mao in the early 90's secured him a place in the art history books as one of the most prominent figures of the so called 'Chinese Pop Art'. Distancing himself from that label, he was creating in the recent years, a series of dark, often gloomy works without hereos, in which he is exploring the link of China's powerful past with the present times. - For a preview of the exhibition please visit our Website.
- November 18 to 28. Daily from 10:00 to 19:00 (Opening November 18 from 18:00 to 20:00)
