Using imagery informed by archives that she has collected over the years, rendering ordinary objects and personal symbols, her paintings become evocations, carrying knowledge we cannot fully understand but intuitively feel, speaking in a decentered and transformative language.

PV: Thursday, 7 July, 1-3PM
Jack Bell Gallery is pleased to present a solo show of new paintings by Mo Shaolong. This will be the artist’s first exhibition in the UK.

Mo sees himself as belonging to the generation informed by globalisation, the Internet, and digital technology. In this sense, his work hints at the fact that every present-day individual is a cyborg, whose ethos exhibits a human-computer hybridity.
