Chinese artist Yu Hong’s riffs on religious art, showing in a former church in Venice, express the fragility of life
Yu’s black humour is often in evidence in her somewhat disturbing images. The altarpiece, ironically titled Make a Wish (2023), is a tall panel fitted into the original, Baroque altar. Make a Wish (2023) at “Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust”, the Chinese artist’s first major exhibition in Europe, presented during the Venice Biennale.
