BLOSSOMING IN BEIJING: Moynat is continuing its relationship with Asian artists with a pop-up at SKP Beijing imagined with Chinese artist Jojo.
Running until Sept. 19 in the luxury mall’s first-floor atrium, the “Folding Paper Garden” installation revisits the French trunkmaker’s travel codes as a walk-through paper set imagined by the Qingdao-born and Beijing-based artist, whose real name is Sui Yuan.
Using folded paper to evoke its archival trunks, she zoomed in on Moynat’s monogram, creating a lightly pixelated version. “Especially in today’s high definition world, this blurring will give people different feelings,” she said.
A graduate of the Oil Painting Department at Capital Normal University, Jojo is best known for her practice between painting, sculpture and paper art, a medium that fascinates her for its fragility. She has built a following in China for her large scale works that explore individuality, the body and the city.
