Howie Tsui's solo exhibition, Retainers of Anarchy, will be exhibited in China at the OCAT Xi’an Museum from Nov. 3 to Jan. 31.
Tsui's work incorporates martial arts characters from the epic tales of the Condor Trilogy by Hong Kong writer Jin Yong.
The show, presented as a non-linear narrative in the form of a 20-yard hand-drawn animation, premiered at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2017.
It gives life to heroes and villains who drift across a wide screen to the accompaniment of a soundscape comprised of excerpts from martial arts television shows and other sound effects.
Born in Hong Kong and raised in Nigeria and Thunder Bay, Ont., Tsui explores Asian history and pop culture, creating ironic cross-references that bring unexplainable contradictions to the fore.
