Yu Nancheng's canvas opens onto a rich, visceral red, a vast expanse where a lone figure performs Tai Chi, moving with a sea of cobalt forms practicing the same. These impasto-sculpted figures, their synchronized postures a silent, echoing pattern, extend towards a distant, shadowed structure. The 'Cross Hands' gesture, a moment of poised balance in this dynamic landscape, becomes a point of focus. It's not Tai Chi as we know it, but a primal dance of integration, an exploration of individual movement within a unified flow, a quiet search for harmony in a world of echoing blue forms.
