Crysalis is delighted to be part of this exhibition, and to celebrate the art of acclaimed Gordon Cheung - an art rich in visual pleasure, symbolism and history. 

As explained by the artist " Arrow to Heaven is my first solo show in Paris at Almine Rech. It is an exploration of lesser known histories of the Opium Wars that Britain and France joined forces to wage war to force the Qing Empire of China to open up trade via what is known as the unfair treaties and to legalise Opium. It led to the collapse of the Qing Empire that was ultimately replaced by Modern China."
