Petzel presents Eight Dreams, new paintings by Xie Nanxing, rooted in his personal dreams. Rather than illustrating them, Xie captures their elusive, fragmentary nature, drawing from the unconscious. Using a canvas print technique that leaves ghostly traces behind, he creates layered, ambiguous works that both suggest and resist interpretation. Text fragments, obscured figures, and overlapping images evoke the sensation of trying to recall a dream just out of reach.
