As the Year of the Horse approaches, a series of exhibitions has opened to usher in a festive mood while evoking the animal's enduring symbolism of vitality, perseverance and forward momentum.
Light Chaser, now running at Beijing's Gravity Art Museum until March 1, is one such show to channel this invigorating spirit.
Bringing together paintings, sculptures and installations by contemporary artists, the exhibition treats the horse as both a cultural archetype and a spiritual vehicle, forging dialogue between tradition and modern expression. The works delve into the horse's rich symbolic legacy, offering poetic reflections alongside bold, avant-garde explorations that lend the show an atmosphere at once celebratory and progressive.
