		•Xu Hongmin's Works (1998 - 2001) March 10 - April 14, 2002
			Xu Hongmin's paintings are abstract, using patterns, geometric balance, and a narrow range of almost monochrome colour. The results appear structural; where some forms of abstraction deny space, Xu Hongmin's works suggest the concrete realism of vast, boundless plains, but leaves room for the imagination to wander. Xu Hongmin has begun to explore colour. Inverting the relation of colour (monochrome) to brushmark (multi-layered and tightly woven together), he now concentrates on optical illusions where two lines meet, manipulated by colour to suggest that the two lines define a physical space. This is Xu Hongmin's most profound achievement.
