Preface

“Lilliput” is the miniature nation, imbued with fantastical elements, from Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. This nation—with its scaled-down dimensions and unique order—symbolizes an idealized utopian world. In this fourth installment of Cycle Space’s Case Study of Chinese New Painting, the theme “Lilliput Utopia” is adopted. By invoking the imagery of the miniature nation, the exhibition contrasts the delicate scale and rich connotations of the works on display. Each piece is like a tiny utopia, embodying the artist’s unique interpretation of an ideal state. Through this concept, we explore how Wang Fanseng, Yan Bingqing, Zhang Shujian, Zhang YunJia, and Zhang Qingzhu construct, through their works, the ideal realms of antiquity, theater, fantasy, masks, and metamorphosis.
