White Cube presents the first UK exhibition by Beijing-based artist Shao Fan (also known as Yu Han, b. 1964), opening on 22 May at Mason's Yard in London. The show, titled "Refrain," features the artist's ethereal works spanning paintings, sculptures, and installations that explore the interconnectedness of humanity, deeply engaged with traditional Chinese culture and mixing past with present.
This exhibition marks a significant milestone for Shao Fan, introducing his practice to a UK audience through a major international gallery. It highlights the growing global interest in contemporary Chinese artists who reinterpret traditional cultural elements, and underscores White Cube's continued commitment to presenting diverse international perspectives in London's art scene.
