Ora-Ora will be presenting the first solo show at Ora-Ora by Chinese contemporary artist Jiang Heng,  titled: The Substance of Mirage.

Jiang Heng has enjoyed a multi-decade career from his base in Guangzhou, narrating the rapid and continued ascent of the industrial powerhouse of southern China with his brush. He asks us to question what is real and what we choose to value, probing the impermanence or durability of cultural norms in a world of speed and production. 

The Substance of Mirage will focus on two series of the artist’s works: “Artificial Hairs,” vividly coloured paintings, and “I Divided My Body Into Pixels For You,”   his textured, layered, sculptural colour and wood installations.

Visitors to the gallery are invited to consider Jiang Heng’s “Artificial Hairs” series in the light of their own personal values, morals, judgments and lifestyles, deciding what truly matters, and what is likely to seem ephemeral or insignificant after the lapse of time.
