Objects of Play: Hoo Mojong Centennial Retrospective

HOO Mojong (1924-2012), a trailblazer in modern art, stands as a key figure in bridging Eastern and Western artistic languages. As one of the most prominent Chinese female artists following Pan Yu-Lin, she has become a significant representative of Asian modernism in the 20th century.

This Retrospective exhibition takes place during a significant moment: the centenary of Hoo Mojong’s birth. Hoo was born in Shanghai and left her hometown in her early 20s. Her extensive travels and residencies around the world not only enriched her personal experiences but also infused her artistic creations with multicultural inspiration. From Shanghai to Taipei, then to Brazil and Spain, and finally settling in Paris where she created art for 37 years as a painter and printmaker. She returned to China in 1996, museums and institutions throughout China have since celebrated her distinct explorations of bodies and mundane, yet playful, objects. “Objects of Play” will comprehensively trace her artistic creation features nearly 100 artworks including paintings, prints, drawings, and archival materials from various periods of Hoo’s career, recapping her integration of Chinese and Western art styles and investigations of the spirituality and power of ordinary life.
