Mountains Without End presents Shi Hu’s first major exhibition in over a decade, featuring more than eighty works created between 2013 and 2023 during the artist’s final creative period in the hills of southern China.
Working across canvas and handmade paper, Shi Hu developed a distinctive visual language that brings together mineral pigment, ink, and calligraphy. His subjects including landscapes, arhats, birds, and ancestral figures emerge through accumulated gesture and atmospheric suggestion rather than direct depiction.
The exhibition centers on two monumental works, Eighteen Arhats and Common Prosperity, each spanning the full length of the museum’s main gallery. These horizontal compositions offer an immersive viewing experience that challenges conventional modes of framing and display.
Throughout his final decade, Shi Hu refined a practice rooted in patience and cultural memory. The works in Mountains Without End reflect an artist in ongoing dialogue with tradition, where form, language, and spirit remain intentionally open ended.
