Along The Way: Transforming the Traditional
February 6 – March 8, 2025
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 6, 5-8pm
65 East 80th Street, Ground Floor, NYC

Fu Qiumeng Fine Art is pleased to present Along The Way: Transforming the Traditional, marking the New York City debut of Atlanta-based multi-disciplinary artist Brandon Sadler. The exhibition explores East Asian art through the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, showcasing works that reimagine cultural narratives and bridge disciplined tradition with contemporary expression.

The exhibition highlights three distinct series: Assemblage, Calligraphy, and Lotus Painting. In Assemblage, Sadler transforms found and created materials into layered reflections of human existence across time and space. His Calligraphy integrates English letters with the principles of Chinese calligraphy, cultivating mindfulness and internal energy. Meanwhile, the Lotus Paintings use expressive ink-and-brush techniques to symbolize freedom and continuous transformation.

A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Brandon Sadler (b. 1986) is a contemporary artist known for his work in painting, calligraphy, murals, and installations. His exploration of East Asian culture began through calligraphy, fusing the English alphabet with Chinese brushwork and stroke-order traditions to forge a unique visual language. Influenced by Shaw Brothers cinema, martial arts’ natural philosophy, and the Wu-Tang Clan’s blend of Kung Fu and Hip Hop. Sadler’s career includes notable exhibitions, collaborations with global brands, and public commissions, including his contributions to the High Museum of Art’s Samurai exhibition in 2023.
