68projects opens our third exhibition in frigid, wintry temperatures with three interlinked exhibitions devoted to flowers and love.
Exhibition 1: Much like still life paintings or individual portraits, flowers might appear too antique as a possible subject for art, especially during a period when art is generated from any idea or the absence of an idea.
Exhibition 2: The Garden of Eden represents innocence, a time before our existence and is lodged deep into the western cultural consciousness. It is also a confusing, mythical place.
Exhibition 3: A mistress is a complicated figure. At first glimpse, she seems pathetic or delusional with the constant longing, undying patience and commitment to an unavailable man who schedules and habitually cancels visits. Society is too quick to judge a mistress, and it is easy to take a high moral stance regarding other people’s affairs.

By exhibiting two abstract and one figurative painter, 68projects asserts the importance and still-meaningful possibilities of oil painting while signalling its primary intent of showcasing emerging painters to new audiences in Europe.
"A painting can make you instantly happy,“ - says Bao. "I gush in front of the wondrous works of these three painters, but my thoughts settle in on their more resounding potential contributions to the oldest art form.“
