About the exhibition
The title rewrites a famous line from the Tang poem “The Golden Robe” — roughly, “pluck the flower while it blooms, before only bare branches remain” — turning tradition on its head to explore the restlessness, curiosity and taboos of adolescence as the body awakens and desire first stirs.
Youth is a hidden “private garden” of opening buds, full of curiosity and longing; yet under social norms and moral scrutiny, desire is often tied to secrecy and shame. Through erotic works in many forms, the exhibition gives shape to those hidden stirrings, embarrassments and fantasies, and invites viewers into the garden to peel off moral labels: desire, like a flower, has its season to bloom — it need not hide in shame or wither under repression.
The artist
Born in 1984, Pigo Lin is a Taiwanese artist who brings elements of shunga and surrealist vocabulary together in a vivid comic-book style. Read more in Pigo Lin: the Taiwanese artist who paints desire in comic-book lines.
