Pékin Fine Arts

27：Group Exhibition

23 September – 28 November, 2017 Pékin Fine Arts is pleased to host ”27”, a group exhibition of three (3) artists:

Martin Wehmer (b. 1976, Blankenstein j. Hattingen, Germany)

Russell Beighton (b 1974，London, United Kingdom)

Robbin Heyker (b. 1976 Leiderdorp, Netherlands)

Martin Wehmer, The Back Of The Starry Sky (Big), 2017, Mixed Media With Aluminum, 160 x 270 cm

Pékin Fine Arts is pleased to host three European artists living and working in Beijing, each dedicated to abstract painting, with a desire to present their work together in one space. Their “pop-up” exhibition brings together three different modes of painting: Minimalist, reductive, and expressive. Each artist’s practice embodies a different approach towards abstraction. The result is a simple discourse among three painting practices, hung together in one space, demonstrating three positions on painting, laid out along three walls. Three x Three x Three = Twenty-Seven. For further information, please contact [email protected] or call: (8610) 5127 3220.
