Ma Cibo. Habitat

Exhibition November 24, 2018 − January 19, 2019
Gallery de Sarthe in Hong Kong presents the Ma Cibo solo exhibition "Habitat". This artist creates a devastated and lifeless environment on his canvases, to which adds a meditative feeling of romantic nostalgia. Using techniques like sfumato, where shapes and colors blend together, he achieves amazing energy in his paintings.

The new works of the painter show the space between reality, imagination, memory and time. Ma Sibo creates transparent illusions by combining facts and fiction. It uses bold colors and faint light to depict objects as hazy and semi-shaped, creating a quiet and secluded atmosphere.

Ma Cibo was born in 1979 in Tianjin. He graduated from the faculty of oil painting at the local Academy of Fine Arts. In 2004, he received a National Diploma at the School of Design in Toulon, and two years later - a diploma at the Higher School of Art in Nîmes. Participant of numerous exhibitions.
