Light & Grain: 秋麦 | Artist-led Gallery Tour
Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 2-4pm
65 East 80th St, NYC

Fu Qiumeng Fine Art is pleased to invite you to a special afternoon with artist Michael Cherney on Saturday, July 26, from 2-4pm.

The program will begin with a preview screening of a short teaser from their upcoming documentary on Michael Cherney’s life and work. This preview offers a glimpse into the personal stories, objects, and inspirations that have shaped Cherney’s cross-cultural practice, providing context for the artistic journey behind Light & Grain 秋麦.

Following the screening, Michael Cherney will lead an in-depth, interactive gallery tour through the exhibition. This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artist as he shares first-hand insights into the creation of his photographs, the underlying concepts of his work, and the unique ways he adapts classical Chinese formats within a contemporary photographic language. Audiences will have the chance to ask questions, experience his handscrolls up close, and hear the personal narratives that inform his creative process, offering a deeper and more intimate perspective beyond what is visible on the wall.

Don’t miss out on this special event with the artist—RSVP here!
