Catalogue Note

Mao Xuhui is highly skilled at transforming objects into symbols, expressing ideas concerning issues with the contemporary society using ordinary objects, with scissors and chairs highly representative in his works. In the past two years, Mao Xuhui’s creative approach has undergone great transformations, yet he has continued to present the meaning of life and existence via visual images, using the honest memories given to him by life itself.
