Mocube is honoured to present the latest exhibition of artist Zheng Wenxin “Goddess's Boogie” opening on Dec 2, 2023. This is Zheng Wenxin’s first solo exhibition at Mocube. The exhibition will run until Jan 14, 2024.

The work by Zheng Wenxin focuses on the influence of overburdened information flow in social media on individual alienation and living environment throughout the last ten years, which is closely related to the great changes of the times that she has personally experienced. Painting has progressively become a marginalized activity in light of the screen media that currently dominates perception. While they enhance the visual experience for the public, screen visuals degrade bodily perception. Long-term physical activity by the artist causes rich sympathetic nerve mobilization and infuses strength into her critical thinking and creativity，as well as a kind of resistance to perceived alienation.

At this exhibition, in contrast to their lack of representation in history and their sometimes restricted position in the family, the artist noted from social media data that most women are eager to share their moments. Female figures in ancient mythology are the protagonists of the earth — they are the embodiment of mountains, rivers, animals, and plants, symbolizing the natural maternal body, as well as neutral identities associated with values such as gestation, tolerance, wisdom, peace, freedom, love, and healing. These are precisely the attributes that today’s society needs in both its internal and exterior contexts. This year, while preparing for the art pieces, the artist looked for her roots in her hometown and also travelled around Europe, in order to find the inner strength. At the same time, the current war in the outside world, which has spread through social media, has caused bewilderment, impotence, and fear. The influence of combined information from real life and screens on people is difficult to quantify. Our lives are changing as a result of this encounter, which is becoming more commonplace. The artist employs acrylic and canvas to depict the layers of quick passage of time and events as a graphic language. The artist purposely preserves some open channels for the sustainability of her creation in the partnership and conflict between brain, hand, and canvas.

This exhibition marks a significant milestone in her creative evolution. The relationship between society and natural forms in the images is the latest focus of the artist. Therefore, the artist deliberately retains part of the possibility of sustainable growth during the creation process, which is an outlet for her to continuously explore the creative language.
