Artist statement
Chen Dongfan: Nevermore is on view from April 14 to June 24, 2018. This is Chen Dongfan’s second solo exhibition with Fou Gallery, following his debut with the gallery in 2017. The exhibition includes a collection of Chen’s recent abstract works that shows an increasing tendency of improvisation. This work is related to the exhibition.
The exhibition’s Chinese title “Zuo Ye Xing Chen Zuo Ye Feng (昨夜星辰昨夜风)”, which literally means the breeze and the stars from yesterday evening, is an excerpt from the poem “Untitled” written by Li Shangyin, a foremost Chinese poet of the late Tang Dynasty. The English title “Nevermore” was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem The Raven, in which "Nevermore" is repeated eleven times. Chen suggests that the exhibition title and and his works should be viewed separately. However, the subtle connection between the Chinese and the English titles activates an imaginative space, which seems metaphoric and elusive.
