Hua International is pleased to announce the representation of Lea von Wintzingerode.

In her evocative paintings, Lea von Wintzingerode blends scenes rooted in personal experiences with collective memories, weaving in portraits that reference underground music, pop culture icons, and the enduring influence of écriture féminine, while her sound composition and installation include sound recordings with modular and analogue synthesizers, piano and composing software. Her works reflect the dynamics of contemporary society, exploring the tension between individual identity and the collective social fabric. With fluid, dreamlike compositions, von Wintzingerode portrays characters navigating the challenges of a hyper-connected, overexposed world, caught between isolation and a yearning for community. These ghostly, distorted, and multifaceted figures resist societal norms, embodying a poignant call for solidarity, hope, and reinvention in the face of neoliberalism’s isolating forces. By integrating painting with sound art and installation, von Wintzingerode creates immersive environments that engage the senses and provoke critical reflections on temporality, community, and the resilience of vulnerable bodies.

Lea von Wintzingerode (b. 1990, Bayreuth, DE) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, and the University of Fine Arts, Hamburg, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree under Prof. Jutta Koether in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include Our Eyes Felt Like Canyons,Hua International, Beijing, CN (2024); notes on radical love, Oldenburger Kunstverein, DE (2022); Laetitia,Jacky Strenz, Frankfurt/Main, DE (2020); The Contract, Lulu Annex, Mexico City, MX (2019) and Young Team, Kunstverein Nürnberg - Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft, Nürnberg, DE (2015). Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions such as I Am A Camera With Its Shutter Open, Hua International, Beijing, CN (2024); City Prince/sses at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, FR (2019); Exhibition Paintings at Kunst Meran, IT (2017); and Independence Day II at Sommer Gallery, Tel Aviv, IL (2017).

Opening tomorrow at Hua International. „Folded Nodes“ by Rafael Domenech.

Opening: March 1, 2025 | 16:00 - 19:00
Artist Workshop: March 1, 2025 | 15:00 - 16:00
Duration: March 1 - May 10, 2025
Location: Hua International, D08-3, 798 East Street, 798 Art District, Beijing

Hua International Beijing is pleased to present Folded Nodes, the second solo exhibition of Rafael Domenech in China. Transforming the gallery into a dynamic system of language, material, and structure, the exhibition is centered around a vibrant green infrastructural framework that suspends the artworks—expanding Domenech’s exploration of how an artist book can inhabit space rather than remain confined to pages.

Drawing from the concept of a “folded node” in network systems and diagrammatic logic, Domenech creates a spatial network where art, language, and architecture converge in unexpected ways. New works in the show blur the boundaries between landscapes, mosaics, maps, and archaeological diagrams. Incorporating scanned tape remnants from past projects, these “surgical collages” layer process, structure, and content into intricate compositions. Folded Nodes is ultimately an exhibition about connection and disconnection, inviting viewers into a space where disciplines, technologies, and ideas intersect, fold, and unfold.

Politics of Love (30.11.2024–2.2.2025) at Kunsthaus Hamburg features Green Go Home (Rirkrit Tiravanija & Tomas Vu ), alongside an international group of artists exploring the transformative power of love in response to global crises, war, and violence. The exhibition centers around the pivotal question: “We’re all against war, but what are we for?” inviting viewers to reflect on peace, solidarity, and collective action for a more inclusive and interconnected future.

Inspired by Michael Hardt’s « politics of love, » the show presents works by both emerging and established artists, including Mounira Al Solh, Francis Alÿs, Isaac Chong Wai, Shilpa Gupta, and Robert Filliou. Politics of Love emphasizes the importance of unity across differences, offering diverse expressions of intimacy, the common good, and multi-perspectival experience.

Curated by Dr. Belinda Grace Gardner ( ) and Anna Nowak ( .m.nowak ).

Hua International is pleased to present The Song of the Earth, featuring works by Caroline Bachmann ( ), Kevin Blinderman ( ), Chen Dandizi ( ), Kasia Fudakowski, Tirdad Hashemi ( ) & Soufia Erfanian ( ), Tong Kunniao ( ), Cosima Zu Knyphausen, and Juan Uslé.

07.12.24-25.01.25

The Song of the Earth takes its inspiration from Gustav Mahler’s symphony, composed during a time of profound personal loss and existential crisis. Confronted with the death of his daughter, his own terminal diagnosis, and his dismissal from the Vienna State Opera amidst rising antisemitism, Mahler sought solace in nature and the translated poetry of Tang Dynasty writers. This deeply personal connection between fragility and the eternal rhythms of the natural world forms the foundation of the exhibition. The selected works evoke landscapes—both real and imagined—that serve as sites for reconciliation, renewal, and contemplation amidst personal and collective turmoil.

Hua International is pleased to present “A Talk” at the West Bund Art Fair, Hall A Booth A207, showcasing works by artists Lea von Wintzingerode, Gordon Hall ( ), Tong Kunniao ( ), F***y Gicquel ( .gicquel ), CFGNY ( ), Jankin van Zyl ( ), Rafael Domenech, Paul DD Smith ( .dd.smith ), Alfredo Aceto ( ), and Chen Dandizi ( ). Presenting a range of works by artists from China, Europe, and South America, the booth represents the gallery’s diverse interests and international awareness.

07.11.24 - 10.11.24
Hall A Booth A207

The booth features a wooden bar, suggesting an indoor setting and thus initiating “A Talk.” In an increasingly isolated, anti-globalization era, the talk incessantly discusses inclusivity and diversity, as well as the fluidity of gender and identity. Making their first appearance at the gallery’s West Bund booth, Lea von Wintzingerode’s paintings present performative bodies and suggest the fluidity of gender with her idiosyncratic flowing brushstrokes; CFGNY, on the other hand, focuses on the intersection of fashion, art, and identity, exploring the concept of vaguely Asian. The installation works by artists such as Gordon Hall, F***y Gicquel, and Chen Dandizi act as the polyphonic voices of this conversation, continuously asserting their respective positions.
