This year, Linjie will be exhibiting some of his key pieces from his Asian Art SPA series, which Deng created after he was attacked at a New York subway station at 86th street. His attacker referred to him as f**king yellow while violently shoving him to the ground. Reclaiming the Asian slur, Deng created three works that are all yellow, paying respect to the pain the Asian community has felt during this time. One of the works spotlighted will be Fortune Cookie, in which the fortune itself states “Stop Asian Hate. Start American Love.”

Deng will also feature signature works from his other series including Proud and Humble from his Yin-Yang series, a selection of contemporary calligraphy works consisting of a set of mutually opposing and coexisting words: freedom and hope, you and me, me and we, proud and humble. These reflect the different reactions and perspectives of Eastern and Western cultures throughout the last few years.

Other key works highlighted will include Falling in Love from 2021 and Kiss Me, Kill Me, from 2021. Currently, Deng is in the process of creating a selection of new pieces at his studio that he will unveil at SCOPE.

Linjie Deng is a multi-talented conceptual artist in New York City. The 29-year-old artist moved to NYC in 2015 after graduating from art college in Beijing, then received his MFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Multimedia art, such as ink art, participatory art and performance art have always been a passion and hobby in Deng’s life. He started studying Chinese ink art and calligraphy at six years old. Now, his artwork has also migrated to a space within digital media and video. He also experiments with new media art from a Conceptualist position. Deng’s works have been shown in China, the Museum of Chinese in America, The Hamptons Art Fair, and have been featured by The United Nations.

At SCOPE Art Fair, Linjie Deng’s works will can be found at Booth #G019. The fair will run from November 30th through December 5th. You can learn more information about SCOPE Art Fair at https://scope-art.com/ and Linjie Deng at https://www.linjiedeng.com/  | Instagram: @Linjie_deng

Asian Art SPA features different works, which Deng created after he was attacked at a New York subway station at 86th street. His attacker referred to him as f**king yellow while violently shoving him to the ground. Reclaiming the Asian slur, Deng has created three works that are all yellow, paying respect to the pain the Asian community has felt during this time. These pieces include I am White, Black and Asian, in which a panda is depicted holding two guns; I don’t like the way he looked at me either, and 8 Deadly Shots. The proceeds from these works will be donated to Think!Chinatown, a non-profit whose mission is to foster inter-generational community through neighborhood engagement, storytelling & the arts.

Deng will also feature other works including works from his Yin-Yang Series, a selection of contemporary calligraphy works consisting of a set of mutually opposing and coexisting words: freedom and hope, you and me, me and we, proud and humble. These reflect the different reactions and perspectives of Eastern and Western cultures throughout the last year.

The Teeth Falling Out series will also be spotlighted with works including The Tooth, Water, Sunshine, Soil, and Leaves. Deng has chosen five basic elements of life and painted them individually, aiming to magnify the small and potentially invisible visual characteristics of each. After spending time painting these, Deng feels connected to them, not just physically but spiritually.  He was able to respect their value and to not treat them as inconsequential, which is what he hopes his audience will feel.

Linjie Deng’s “Asian Art SPA” exhibition will be on display with all works available for purchase at Carlton Fine Arts Ltd. 543 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10022 location. Exhibition hours are Mondays – Thursdays: 10 AM – 6 PM; Fridays: 10 AM – 4 PM; Saturdays: Closed; Sundays: 11 AM – 6 PM and by appointment.

Carlton Fine Arts presents a new exhibition of works by conceptual Chinese artist, Linjie Deng, titled “Lost Museum,” alongside a curated set of works by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Marc Chagall, Roy Lichtenstein and Mr. Brainwash. Linjie Deng’s collection will be on display beginning Tuesday, February 16 through Thursday, March 18 at Carlton Fine Arts Ltd. location at 543 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022.

Linjie Deng is a 29-year-old artist who has lived in New York City since 2015 after graduating from art college in Beijing. Deng began studying Chinese ink art at the age of six and has turned his love and passion for multimedia, participatory and performance art into a career. Deng received his MFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Deng’s works have been shown in China, the Museum of Chinese in America and The Hamptons Virtual Art Fair.

Password

Among the many highlights is Linjie Deng’s “Password” that explores the connectivity Wi-Fi brought to the world in the midst of the global pandemic lock downs. Wi-Fi and the internet play a major role in sharing content and shaping people’s judgements. “In recent years, we’ve seen the internet encourage fear, division and hate via social media,” said Deng. The artist’s work uses the concept of a password to unlock the key to help vanquish this virus of hate by “spreading love.” For this piece, Linjie Deng will be donating his profits from the sale to first responders at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital that were on the frontlines of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.

Empty Heart Series (Feature Photo)

Another work featured by Deng is his “Empty Heart” series that is inspired by Deng’s immigration experience upon moving to the United States in 2015. Before coming to New York City, Linjie believed the American dream was directly correlated to material goods, from clothing to high-end meals. After arriving and trying to obtain what he imagined to be the American dream, Deng found his heart empty. “The series symbolizes the items I aspired to attain and serves as a reminder of what our true priorities should be, obtaining a full heart,” says Linjie Deng.

Moon Catcher

“Moon Catcher” by Linjie Deng is also included within the exhibition. The piece is inspired by classic Chinese poetry and symbolism that is used when describing the moon. Deng demonstrates that the moon follows you wherever you are in the world and serves as a reminder of where you first encountered it, in your hometown. Just as Deng is reminded of his home village in the northwestern Shanxi Province, others can be reminded of where they grew up by looking to the moon and knowing that it is always at a fixed point. Steady and unchanging, Deng says that, “no matter how far we may be from home, we can always look back on the moon and remember our roots that have shaped us into who we are today.”

Linjie Deng’s “Lost Museum” exhibition will be on display with all works available for purchase at Carlton Fine Arts Ltd. 543 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10022 location. Exhibition hours are Mondays – Thursdays: 10 AM – 6 PM; Fridays: 10 AM – 4 PM; Saturdays: Closed; Sundays: 11 AM – 6 PM and by appointment.
