Chambers Fine Art presents an exhibition by Ye Nan, Phosphorous Red.

Ye Nan (born 1984 in Hangzhou) engages us directly with great, sometimes imponderable questions. In the series of prints collectively titled Phosphorous Red the artist has perfected a technique of applying phosphorous liquid, like that used in the manufacture of matches, onto the hand-made paper. These bold images contain a wide range of references including space travel and colonization, the principles of chemistry and physics, nationalism, politics and rock music. He succeeds in drawing together this potentially improbable material into an invigorating and highly-legible series of manifesto like declarations. In addition to the regular edition of three, there is also a series of unique prints modified by the artist.

Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated catalog with introductory essays by critic Philip Tinari as well as extended interviews: Qiu Zhijie with Ye Nan and Yu Hong with Yuan Yuan.
