HdM Gallery is pleased to announce that Fu Site’s next solo exhibition, Unfolding, opening on March 14, 2026. The exhibition brings together the artist’s recent works that advance in two parallel directions: a deepened investigation into relational dynamics between figural forms, and an expanded exploration of spatial and narrative scale. From the organization of localized tensions to broader spatial propositions, the works unfold as sustained inquiries across multiple levels. The exhibition will remain on view through May 9.

Figures — An experiment in relational extension

In the Figures series, the artist’s focus shifts from the shaping of individual images to the organization of relationships between discrete entities. Some works revolve around paired compositions, articulating subtle yet restrained tensions and dependencies; others gather multiple presences within a shared field, forming hierarchies and correspondences. These units retain hints of figuration while hovering at the threshold of anthropomorphism. Their spatial disposition becomes the locus of tension: attraction without merging, interdependence without resolution.

Fu begins with automatism, letting the subconscious extend across the surface before the image is stabilized. Forms emerge with a sculptural density and weight, introducing renewed flexibility into his established working structure. In this exhibition, he recalibrates that approach: spontaneous studies are brought onto the canvas, and line shifts from a singular generative driver to a negotiable structural element. Through sustained revision, intention and contingency advance in parallel; control and release remain in measured tension. What unfolds here is less a technical refinement than a conscious resistance to procedural rigidity, keeping the act of painting open and in motion.

A renewed attempt at allegorical narration

Fu Site’s narrative imagination is grounded in his reexamination of art historical traditions. The sculptural principles of the Renaissance play a structural role in his practice—his study of volume, center of gravity, and contour lends the canvas a clear logic of support and spatial order. At the same time, the subconscious pathways opened by Surrealism and modernist movements infuse his imagery with associative freedom and a dimension of fantasy. The former provides a compositional framework, while the latter expands the sources of imagery, allowing rational structure and dream logic to coexist within the same pictorial field.

In the larger-scale works, Fu Site extends this juxtaposition of formal construction and narrative suggestion into a broader spatial dimension. He describes “pleasure” as a condition of generation: emotion is not an added layer of meaning, but a driving force that propels the image’s continual transformation. The unfolding of being encompasses confrontation and convergence, creation and dissolution, sustained within a field of polarity. The arrangement, aggregation, and dispersal of forms construct scenes suggestive of allegory, yet they resist resolution into a fixed storyline. Narrative remains suspended—implying sequence while withholding conclusion.

This exhibition therefore does not function as a summation of previous work, but as an opening toward further development. By redistributing his working paths and methodologies, the artist sustains a condition of variability and openness within the image. The canvas advances through cycles of affirmation and revision, maintaining tension between stability and release. In this sense, the exhibition concerns not only the formation of images, but also an ongoing inquiry into lived experience.
