| Duan Jianyu: Yúqiáo is the first English-language catalogue dedicated to the Guangzhou-based artist. It accompanies her first major UK solo exhibition in more than a decade and the inaugural programme at the London-based non-profit project space YDP (Yan Du Projects, 4 Octoberâ 20 December 2025). The catalogue features twenty new paintings that reimagine yúqiáoâ a classical Chinese motif of a fisherman and a woodcutter as wise, reclusive figuresâ into Duanâ s shape-shifting characters: goats, cows, a black cat detective, and the artist herself, revealing quiet wisdom, humour, and vitality in daily life. Functioning as a parallel dialogue to the exhibition, the catalogue sits between conventional documentation and an artistâ s book, echoing Duanâ s distinctive narrative approach and inviting readers to drift through the textures of her imaginative world. Creative writings by Yang Zi and Bang Wang, an essay by Lydia Yee, and a conversation between Duan and Yang offer multiple perspectives on the artistâ s practice, rooted locally yet resonant globally. |
