LeiLei Gallery
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?
Leilei Gallery is currently hosting the group exhibition “Unfolding Boundaries,” open until December 19, featuring eight artists: Cătălin Angelescu, Vlad Dragne, Dan Dumănoiu, Ada Jugănaru, Teodora Ionescu, Lucian Mitruțoiu, Tiberiu Necula, and Maria Onu. The exhibition examines the contemporary urban landscape as a territory of continuous transition, where the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty become fluid. The works explore the layered structure of the city—from façades marked by rewritten histories to the subterranean space of the metro—and invite visitors to perceive the city as a living organism that shapes memory and identity.
