At the close of 2022, STArtz’Gallery had the privilege of collaborating with artists Jiang Xiaoyu and Hu Lijun to present the dual solo exhibition "GOMU GOMU NO" / "Shh! Only To Me". Curated by Yang Xi and Zhang Ye, this exhibition served as STArtz’Gallery’s final show of the year, aiming to channel the emotional energy of the artists and open up new expectations for the coming year.
In this exhibition, Jiang Xiaoyu and Hu Lijun trace, reflect on, and reinterpret the intense and passionate dimensions of life through their artistic practices. Rooted in everyday experiences, they capture authentic and sparkling moments of inspiration from the fragments of daily life. With youthful creativity, they transform genuine emotions from ordinary life into diverse forms of expression, using distinct perspectives and visual languages to convey the vibrant essence of existence.
The exhibition seeks to create a multifaceted space for dialogue. For the artists, it is an act of emotional release; for the audience, we hope it serves as an inspiration — inviting viewers to draw upon their own emotions and personal memories to find resonance within the scenes depicted by Jiang Xiaoyu and Hu Lijun.
