Triumph Gallery artist Guan Yinfu present his latest solo exhibition, "2718 kg," at Long Museum (West Bund) on November 13, 2025. Curated by Cui Cancan, the exhibition feature over twenty pieces created by the artist in recent years.The exhibition “2718 kg” takes its name from the literal weight of the works it presents. It speaks of gravity not only as a physical measure but as an enduring metaphor for the essence of being and creation. The exhibition unfolds in three sections, tracing Guan’s artistic practice over the past five years. In the Color Series, we see how he explores the fundamental questions of painting—color, form, volume, and weight—and how, upon this foundation, a spiritual dialectic between content and form, reality and imagination emerges. These universal reflections then return to his personal subjectivity—to his life, experiences, and environment, and to his conscious engagement with cultural identity. In the monumental Black and White Series, Guan draws upon his long-standing sensibilities rooted in expressionism and stage design to forge a Chinese philosophical meditation on black, gray, and white, exploring the relationships among materiality, force, emptiness, and drama. His works thus exist between painting, design, relief, and stage, blurring the boundaries among image, object, and space.In the final section of the exhibition, Guan turns to the simplicity and essence of black, seeking to construct a perceptual system that stands in contrast to the “white” of art history. Here, he invokes the spiritual symbolism contained within color: how, from the finite substance of matter, one might reach the infinite realm of spirit. Like the nature of darkness, black renders things hidden, blurred, and mysterious. It may also be said that black is born from an older, more inscrutable history, one that always carries a sense of premonition.
