Shadows of Boulder Hill presents a group of seventeen powerful paintings in oil on linen and a selection of drawings by artist Tang Shuo (b. 1987 in Guangxi, China) that delve into his childhood experiences in rural southern China. This, Tang�_Ts first book, documents the concurrent exhibitions of these works at Fabienne Levy�_Ts galleries in Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2023.  Shadows of Boulder Hill marks a significant point in Tang�_Ts career; in 2023 he incorporated narrative threads into his paintings for the first time, depicting young lovers, recluses and wanderers lost in imagined and remembered landscapes of lush vegetation and wildflowers. A selection of the fascinating true stories from Boulder Hill that inform Tang�_Ts practice, personal and collective, are detailed in the gallery notes.  Shadows of Boulder Hill includes a foreword by gallerist Fabienne Levy and an essay by multidisciplinary scholar Dr Matthew Holman. Holman explores the significance of time, place, perspective and memory in Tang�_Ts recent body of work, as he considers the impact of China�_Ts Cultural Revolution on subsequent generations. Tang�_Ts move to the UK in 2020 prompted him to reconsider his past and his identity in a new country. Here, Tang appears as an artist who has found his voice as he eloquently explores scenes of family, friendship, suffering, solitude and survival. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581539680434,"sku":"9-7809e-12","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780903696845.jpg?v=1737627461","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9-7809e-12","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
