Best known for his ‘Lining Up series,’ Beijing artist Chen Yu’s first one-man exhibition in Hong Kong was held at Schoeni Art Gallery. A catalogue was published in conjunction with the exhibition. Besides numerous group shows, the gallery also held another solo for the artist in 2005.

Before Pan Dehai’s debut solo exhibition in Hong Kong with Schoeni Art Gallery, he previously had his first solo exhibition in Beijing at the Goethe Institute (1994). The ‘corn’ imagery of the characters in his paintings is the symbol of the artist’s life experience, and of his long contemplation on life’s origin and the tragic character of human existence.
