Projection: The Adult Empire Strikes Back | Pigo Lin

Neverland Gallery presents Pigo Lin's second solo exhibition in this exhibition. ,

"Projection: The Adult Empire Strikes Back" marks the artist's tenth anniversary and showcases a brand-new series of works.

The exhibition focuses on desire, memory, and growth, continuing its exploration of physicality and inner emotions, and experimenting with media and techniques different from the past to give the images a new visual energy.

The work blends comic book language, body imagery, and surreal symbolism, allowing the images to flow between ambiguity, poetry, and unease, like a film slowly unfolding under hazy light and shadow.

The orange-gold glow of the setting sun, the misty shadows, and the film-like texture make the colors an extension of emotions, both gentle and profound, carrying complex feelings that can only be understood "after growing up".

A symbolic bed is placed in the exhibition space as a vessel for emotions and memories, allowing viewers to shift their perspective between the real and psychological levels and enter the inner scene of the "adult empire".

Artists use figurative forms to depict those unspeakable thoughts and experiences, allowing the body, as a vessel for emotions, to be understood and seen.

The exhibition invites visitors to look back on their growth in a gentler way, to confront those suppressed, forgotten, yet never truly gone emotions and memories, and to rediscover themselves in the process of viewing.

This is not only a visual experience, but also an emotional return, reminding us that the adult world has never truly stood still, but has been constantly breathing and flowing in the gaps.
