Galerie Urs Meile is pleased to announce the opening of Compulsory Execution, the first solo exhibition in the west for young emerging Chinese artist Yang Mushi (*1989). The exhibition follows his first solo show, Illegitimate Production, held in Beijing in 2016.
While creating his works, Yang Mushi enters a state of introspection that borders on self-torture.
He submits himself to a rigorous daily routine, diligently working on his sculptural materials in vigorous acts of cutting, grinding and sharpening. As a final step, the surface is polished and covered with black lacquer, thus reducing the objects to dark shapes of strict aesthetics and a martial kind of beauty.
