Pékin Fine Arts 27:Group Exhibition 23 September – 28 November, 2017

Pékin Fine Arts is pleased to host ”27”, a group exhibition of three (3) artists:

Martin Wehmer (b. 1976, Blankenstein j. Hattingen, Germany) Russell Beighton (b 1974,London, United Kingdom) Robbin Heyker (b. 1976 Leiderdorp, )

Martin Wehmer, The Back Of The Starry Sky (Big), 2017, Mixed Media With Aluminum, 160 x 270 cm

Pékin Fine Arts is pleased to host three European artists living and working in Beijing, each dedicated to abstract painting, with a desire to present their work together in one space.

Their “pop-up” exhibition brings together three different modes of painting: Minimalist, reductive, and expressive. Each artist’s practice embodies a different approach towards abstraction.

The result is a simple discourse among three painting practices, hung together in one space, demonstrating three positions on painting, laid out along three walls.

Three x Three x Three = Twenty-Seven.
