Berntson Bhattacharjee is proud to present Xu Yang's inaugural solo show in London, Daughter, Sister, Mother, Monster. The exhibition is a unique exploration of the Greek myth of Medusa, reinterpreting her as a symbol of female resilience and beauty. Through painting, performance and film, the Medusa tale acts as a metaphor for Xu Yang to explore her identity as a Chinese woman as well as wider societal topics in today’s world, such as gender and race issues. The tale is told through a theatrical lens, creating a surreal setting that references Roccoco, Chinese Opera and Greek tragedy.
