Collaboration with Ming Gu Gallery: Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat, One New Change and Myo Dashwood House, London

15 August - 31 October 2024
Overview
"Artists who breathe new life into East Asian aesthetics by drawing inspirations from classical styles while exploring contemporary themes."

Ming Gu Gallery is a London based gallery showcasing contemporary artists who breathe new life into East Asian aesthetics by drawing inspirations from classical styles while exploring contemporary themes.

Guming Song started the gallery in July 2022 out of love for classical Chinese art, a feeling of underrepresentation of this genre in the UK art scene and curiosity of seeing how this thousand year old tradition can evolve. 

The name of the gallery, Ming Gu (pronounced as 'Ming-Goo'), comes from shan ming gu ying (山鸣谷应) in Second Ode to the Red Cliffs (后赤壁赋) by Su Shi (苏轼). The Second Ode to the Red Cliffs is one of the most celebrated poems in Chinese history and the literal meaning of this phrase is that the mountain calls and the valley answers. It symbolises meaningful exchange and stimulating dialogues, which is what Guming wants to achieve through this gallery.
