AIKE-DELLARCO is pleased to announce Zhou Siwei’s first solo exhibition in Shanghai, opening on May 31 and on view until July 20. The exhibition will showcase a series of recent paintings and installation pieces. The title "A Round Studio” derives from the artist's notion of his own practice, which he views as a cyclical journey of repetition, evolution, and progression.
Zhou Siwei constructs his paintings and installations utilising predetermined sets of colors forms and sequences. Through a process that entails both repetition and randomness, these acquire a new context. Purportedly ordinary and banal images constitute the starting points of a cyclical sequence of gestures whose ultimate purpose lies in asserting a novel visual logic based on the manipulation and re-engineering of all pre-existing structures.
