"Jiang Cheng" features work from two of the artist's ongoing series. In each of the numbered, large-format works titled with the preface “U-,” Cheng (b.1985, Quzhou, China) depicts a face seen up-close to an extreme, as if in tension with the surface of the canvas itself. This tight cropping, as seen in "U-22" (2019) results in an image that seems abstracted. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The exhibition follows the recent acquisition of Cheng’s “U-12” (2018), which is also on view. "Jiang Cheng" is the artist's first institutional presentation, on view in ICA Miami’s Ray Ellen and Allan Yarkin Gallery, a space dedicated to supporting important emerging artists.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Don’t miss this presentation, on view through May 7, 2023.
