2GIL29 GALLERY is pleased to announce the Solo Exhibition 《 What should we do?》 by Qwaya (b. 1991), which will take place from February 3rd to February 24th, 2024.
Qwaya captures the intricacies of daily life through his artwork, portraying nuanced narratives, anxieties, and the ebb and flow of the world.
The exhibition reveals Qwaya‘s heightened mastery of color, realistic depictions, and refined compositional structures, which transports his depictions beyond the mere documentation of fleeting moments. These artworks, seemingly personal in their narratives, resonate with our profound reflections on the flow of everyday life. Qwaya explores societal anxieties and contradictions often overlooked in the daily hustle. His disquieting narratives skillfully unveil the intrinsic human essence and the subtle indicators of life, providing a delightful perspective through his unique artistic expression. Returning to the stage at 2GIL29 GALLERY in 2024 after successful exhibitions in 2020 and 2022, Qwaya continues to share his compelling stories through the language of art.
