Press Release
Capsule Shanghai is honored to present artist Cai Zebin’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, 12 Tales of the 23rd Parallel North. The exhibition showcases the artist’s recent paintings, unveiling his multifaceted exploration of creative approaches and language, along with the rich implications within his visual compositions.
“The 23rd Parallel North” in the exhibition title refers to the region of Shantou where the artist lives and works. In the twelve paintings on view, he captures moments from dusk to night. Temporarily shifting away from the “palette person” series that had been the core of his practice for three years, Cai, over the last two years, redirects his exploration to life around his hometown. Starting from the self-awareness of his identity as a painter, the artist acts as both the witness and the creator of the portrayed scenes, constructing a mystical world where everything is imbued with life and soul.
Cai’s inspirations never stray far...More
