As cherry blossoms fade across Japan, a new bloom takes root in New York. The Nicolas Auvray Gallery is proud to present In Full Bloom, the New York debut solo exhibition by Chen Yi Ching, one of the few contemporary artists practicing Nihonga, the refined tradition of Japanese painting, outside of Japan. Chen’s practice is shaped not by geography but by a commitment to precision, depth, and material sensitivity.
Spanning minimalist steel sculpture, Neo Geo abstraction, evocative landscapes, experimental still life, and digitally manipulated photographic works on industrial materials, Mélange sets each style in sharp relief. Rather than blending, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the tension, humor, and dialogue that arise when divergent artistic languages collide.
