Fu Qiumeng Fine Art is excited to present Traveller, a solo exhibition by Zhang Xiaoli, on view from April 30 through June 6, 2026.

A lone Lego figure on horseback rides through landscapes it was never meant to inhabit. In Traveller, Zhang Xiaoli transplants the visual grammar of Chinese landscape painting into the world of Lego. Taking “theater” as its central framework, the exhibition unfolds in distinct chapters: Prologue, Scenes, Open Rehearsal, and Epilogue.

It begins with Le Garden Manual, a Lego reinterpretation of the Mustard Seed Garden Manual, serving as a pedagogical guide into this theatrical world and reconstructing its elemental grammar through modular blocks.

Alongside the exhibition, an artist-led fan-painting workshop will invite participants to engage directly with Zhang’s playful reinterpretation of pictorial traditions through their own hands. Stay tuned for more details.
