Dai Mouyu @ FQ Projects
“Moments” is the second solo show for Dai Mouyu at FQ Projects and will feature his latest needle-ink-pen on paper works. These pieces are all subtle gradations of grey from afar, but from up close, it’s hard not to be astonished by the details, with thousands of lines intricately woven together in oder to create layers of texture.
“Moments” runs until August 1 @ FQ Projects, House 76, Lane 927 Huaihai Zhong Lu, near Shanxi Nan Lu. Tel: 6466 2940. Web: www.fqprojects.com

“A Round Studio” is multi-disciplinary artist, Zhou Siwei’s first solo exhibition in Shanghai and features recent paintings and installations.
