At Hauser & Wirth, Qiu Xiaofei’s Transmutation of Grief

‘In 'The Theater of Wither and Thrive,' Qiu captures the drama inherent in the life cycle of all earthly and time-bound existence, of flesh and soul alike. His powerful canvases expand across the gallery’s vast fifth-floor space with an irruptive, hallucinatory intensity that feels almost fantastical, as if surfacing spontaneously from the subconscious.’
