When “being seen” and “being understood” cease to coincide, how should painting respond? In a single shared space, we propose a dual experiment on the mechanism of viewing: Nianxin Li turns inward — paring down objects, decelerating time; Shiqing Deng turns outward — layering symbols, accelerating the senses. The significance of their juxtaposition lies not in stylistic contrast, but in a mutual verification of methodology — how painting might shift from the production of images to the production of perception, and how viewing itself might be rewritten in the contemporary environment of transparency and platformed structures.

Opening reception: 8 November, Saturday, 4-7pm

Gallery address: 20/F, Landmark South, 39 Yip Kan Street, Wong Chuk Hang
