Unfolding Stories | The Art in Paper
2026.05.22 – 07.31
Honin Art Center, Chengdu

The exhibition in Chengdu opens a way of encountering art that unfolds slowly—through light, movement, and perception. As both surface and structure, paper holds image, gesture, and absence at once. Fragile yet resilient, intimate yet expansive; it becomes a space where meaning is never fixed, but continuously shaped. The artists explore the material and conceptual possibilities of paper through folding, cutting, layering, and gesture, revealing stories embedded in material itself.
