Chen Yujun's solo exhibition at the Long Museum West Bund runs till January 4, 2026.

The "I, We - Chen Yujun solo exhibition" features 30 paintings, installations, and sculptures, including several made for the museum's gallery spaces. The exhibition features post-2020 works of the Fujian-born artist, unlike his previous exhibitions.

Unlike Chen's earlier exhibitions, "I, We" centers on the paintings produced by the Fujian-born artist after 2020.

Organized in reverse chronology, the exhibition is arranged into three sections: The Outsider, Displaced Spaces, and Nature. This framework shows how Chen's past studies created the foundations for a reconfiguration of time and space in his latest works and acknowledges the basic origins and sustenance of his work.

Chen has had two solo exhibitions at the Long Museum: "Sheng Zhang" in 2021 at Long Museum West Bund and "Arthouser" in 2022 at Long Museum Chongqing.

The exhibition is divided into three sections: The Outsider, Displaced Spaces, and Nature, and is organized in reverse chronology.

The three exhibitions, distinctly different as they span diverse media and disciplines, have unfolded a rich, multidimensional and varied art scene that offers viewers a continuous stream of surprises.

To prepare for this exhibition, Chen has spent roughly two years refining every aspect – from its theme and spatial design to the smallest installational details – revisiting and revising each element again and again. More than a routine summary of his work, the presentation is also a personal reckoning with his own creative journey.

While hoping to weave his reflections into broader social discourse through multi-dimensional artistic expression, Chen wishes every viewer who pauses before a work to forge an individual path of self-recognition and self-development.

When each "I" is thus connected, a wider "we" emerges, expanding the possibilities that lie ahead.
