Imprinted City

This exhibition unites Michael Downs and Danae Li, artists whose practices investigate perception, structure, and cultural dialogue. Downs, mentored by Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin, reinterprets landscapes through Neo-Structuralist Cubism, reshaping forms to balance chaos and order, showcased in 50 solo exhibitions worldwide. Li’s paper-cut urban series fuses Eastern aesthetics with Western rationalism, dissecting cityscapes into geometric fragments infused with vivid colour and rhythm. Her works transform Beijing’s alleys or London’s bridges into dynamic visual collages. Together, their art bridges tradition and modernity, abstraction and reconstruction, offering immersive visual narratives that celebrate global landscapes and urban complexity.
