Harper’s presents MacGuffin, Nianxin Li’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring new paintings that examine the fluid nature of intimacy. Li’s amorphous figures exist in a constant state of transformation, merging flora and fauna to propose a vision beyond human-centered existence. Works like Tell me and The back of the shell evoke tension between emergence and concealment, exploring the fragile, shifting dynamics of coexistence and the ever-changing nature of attachment.
