Tell us about LeiLei Gallery.
Leilei Gallery is a new presence on the contemporary art scene in Romania. Founded in 2020 by visual artist Leilei Chen, the gallery was born out of a desire to create a cultural dialogue between the European and Asian contemporary art scenes. Leilei Chen, who came to Bucharest to study visual arts at the National University of Arts, brought with her a rich experience gained in China, where she also studied visual arts. Since its debut on the Romanian art scene, Leilei Gallery's mission has been to promote and stimulate local contemporary creation in all its diversity and to connect it with the international art scene. The gallery proposes transgenerational and transmedia exhibition projects, involving both established artists and emerging young artists in its programs. We promote various artistic practices, from painting and sculpture to video art, installation, performance, sound experiments,NFTs, and more.
What do you have upcoming?
We are currently hosting the exhibition Hearing, Seeing, Touching, which will be open until April 25. It is a project that brings together works by young artists from ESAD Grenoble-Valence and UNArte Bucharest, focusing on the exploration of the body, the relationship with the environment and the experiences of contemporary man. The works are realized in a variety of techniques - painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, 3D photography and video - and create a rich and provocative multi-sensorial dialog.
