Press Release
Harper’s is pleased to announce MacGuffin, New York-based artist Nianxin Li’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features new paintings by Li and opens Wednesday, March 19, 6–8pm, with a reception attended by the artist.
Across MacGuffin, Li captures the ever-evolving nature of intimacy through a confluence of amorphous bodies and haptic forms. Li explores the intricacies of coexistence amid interspecial beings rendered in cinematic chiaroscuro. Within these dynamic scenes, connection, alienation, dependence, and detachment orbit in and out of sight, illuminating processes of relationality that remain in constant flux. By dissolving the distinction between flora and fauna in her biomorphic figuration, the artist proposes a post-anthropocenic vision of entanglement. Li’s luminous yet inscrutable figures embody the precarity of presence, revealing the fragile connections that shape all forms of life within shared terrains.
