單慧乾將於荷蘭Frans Hals Museum舉辦個展「Sin Wai Kin: Still Life」。
「In Sin Wai Kin: Still Life, the symbolism of 17th-century painting, the glamour of drag and science fiction merge. In their oeuvre, Sin regularly refers to world-famous works of art, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of Mona Lisa, Caravaggio’s painting of the self-righteous Narcissus, Picasso’s anti-war painting Guernica, and Man Ray’s black-and-white photography. These works enter into a dialogue with the permanent collection of the Frans Hals Museum, including paintings by Frans Hals, Judith Leyster and Leo Gestel.
Commissioned by the Frans Hals Museum, Sin also makes new work, which will be shown for the first time during the presentation. In the video artwork Still Life (2026), the artist’s parents are given the leading role. They are talking to each other over a Cantonese meal, surrounded by classic vanitas and food still lifes from the collection of the Frans Hals Museum.」 —Frans Hals Museum
