As historically there has not been a large-scale feminist movement in China, Xiang approaches her work with a conscious female perspective and sensibility, using the female figure to go beyond gender politics to communicate universal human conditions. Rendered in painted fiberglass or marble, her sculptures are not self-portraits or images of actual individuals, but are intended to portray familiar internal emotions, such as loneliness or vulnerability. Overall Xiang’s work is a representation of a psychological state of being and serves to convey her subjective point of view on the world. Her sculptures presented at Lehmann Maupin examine the ‘body’ as a medium, specifically its misinterpretation in our culture. These nude, and often hairless female figures are stripped away of the stereotypical markers of physical attractiveness they are symbolic for the artist of an existential state of being that is unaffected by the maledominated world. While Teller’s glistening photographs conjure desire, Xiang’s sculptures convey starkly contrasting emotions. The Hotel Il Pellicano images also mark the first occasion Teller used a digital camera in his oeuvre, allowing him to get closer to the subject matter. They represent the luxury associated with the act of transforming the consumption of food-a basic necessity of life- into a lavish and over-the-top experience. In Teller’s photographs of chef Antonio Guida’s extravagant menu at Hotel Il Pellicano on the Tuscan coast in Porto Ercole, Italy, the decadent dishes present a level of culinary opulence bordering on the grotesque. The artist’s raw and unrefined approach to photography has also served as an influence to major commercial photographers. He uniformly captures all his subjects, from landscapes to his family to supermodels, with an unapologetically gritty style. Teller’s compositions remove the artifice between the subject and photographer. Both artists will be present for an opening reception at the gallery on Thursday, May 21 from 6-8PM. Teller’s photographs are overladen with indicators of desire, whereas Xiang Jing strips desire away from her sculptures. ![]() In this exhibition both Teller and Xiang explore the idea of desire, yet from opposing perspectives.
