Nova Contemporary is pleased to present Orbital, a group exhibition of works by ten artists, Anna Jung Seo, Dana Powell, Elinor Stanley, Grace Lee, Kin-Ting Li, Prae Pupityastaporn, Rasha Omar, Xiao Hanqiu, Xi Jiu, and Yage Guo.
Orbital reflects on the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of the moon and moonlight. The included works wax and wane in continuous vacillation, propelled by the blind and driven forces of the seasonal and emotional. Focusing on phases of transformation, they capture the inevitable, fleeting, and mercurial, at once embodying solitude and communion, or dream and reality. Brought together in a sweeping cycle in the gallery, these paintings form their own recurrent rhythm of time, acting as testaments to what changes yet returns again and again.
