Chinese artist Qudy Xu’s first solo exhibition opened at Java Gallery on Mar. 31. Entitled Innocence, the exhibition features a series of colourful, close-up drawings of children. Qudy says she through her drawings wanted to capture how kids living in harsh and unforgiving environments nevertheless find ways to express happiness in simple and innocent ways. The children also awake something within her. “In their eyes I see something that is recognizable, a memory, from long ago,” she writes in her artist’s statement. Self-taught, drawing and painting was for a long time something Qudy wanted to do, but it was only after her move to Phnom Penh that she picked up the brush and first began exhibiting her work in 2007. The exhibition runs through May 8. For more photos, visit our Scrapbook.
