Every invisible is a new visible.

I make a distinction between “visible” and “invisible” in order to be able to think about the world that I can see. I always find inspiration by deconstructing images, because in every visible image there is its invisible power.

Gao Xintong

Crysalis is delighted to present this exhibition at The House of Fine Art by rising star Gao Xintong. This is his firs-ever solo show in London and is curated by our founder Dagmar Carnevale Lavezzoli.

Gao Xintong’s works celebrate a painterly encounter between what is hidden and what is manifest, between movement and fixity, between brushstrokes and nuances, ultimately yearning towards the Yin-Hsien 隐显 (invisible-visible) “the art of not showing everything in order to keep the breath alive and the mystery intact” [1].
