The title of this exhibition unfolds from a month of presence in Mallorca. During July, Shen Han inhabited the island at its most saturated—when heat thickens the air, bodies multiply, and the coastline is no longer a line but a continuous crossing.

This is the season when the place opens completely: days stretch, borders soften, and the sea becomes a passage rather than a threshold. The land is no longer held apart by water; it is touched, entered, consumed. What was once peripheral becomes central, exposed, almost weightless under the pressure of attention.

The works gathered here are shaped by walking, waiting, and listening. His paintings are created through an intuitive and physical process. Each painting emerges from movement rather than premeditation, creating compositions that feel both deliberate and fleeting. They register fragments of perception of the island, moments situated between observation and memory.

Shen draws from a transnational sensibility that resists clear boundaries. His works navigates between abstraction and suggestion, structure and spontaneity. Like looking at the clouds, the artist creates open pictorial fields that invite viewers to linger, wander, and project their own associations.

When an island is no longer an island is not about loss alone, but about permeability – about what happens when a place becomes continuously available, and how intimacy persists even as boundaries dissolve.
