Exhibition Statement：
"Spiel Allein - London Contemporary Art Exhibition" is a group exhibition featuring 25 talented artists from different countries and their recent works in different mediums. The title Spiel Allein meaning playing alone reflects artists’ personal investigation of self, relationships, identity, others, and community. In the post-pandemic era, we are more than willing to reconnect to each other, the community, and the other part of the world such as nature after being restricted and isolated by the virus. We collected these special fragments from all over the world, sending out signals of ourselves, responding to each other in a gallery space, and hopefully connecting to the visitors and audiences. The exhibition is also part of the art program of Gallery NAT that aims to support emerging young artists from different cultural backgrounds. The curatorial team specially invites renowned professionals and critics from the UK, France, and the United States to help jury the exhibition awards. We are dedicated to supporting young artists with more exhibition opportunities and media promotions. We look forward to seeing the impassioned artwork and welcoming everyone to join us in the show.

Yuqing Shi
Yuqing Shi is interested in the uncertainty and fragility of life, finding the absurd in the seemingly mundane everyday. Connection is what she finds most attractive in everyday life. In her art practice, the connections between individuals jump out of the rigid numbness of perception and proliferate into a way of communicating with the world. Her sensitive nerves are always capturing objects that emanate faint emotions, which makes her believed that these seemingly insignificant objects compose our existence, and that these mundane objects are as much a remedy for dirty air and toxic water as microbes.

Giovanna Giulia Simeoni
"She is a multidisciplinary, figurative artist, physicist and dramaturg.
Born in Verona (Italy), she is currently based in Munich (Germany). Her multiform artistic language is the result of an intercultural, interdisciplinary education.
The artistic creation combines a poetical approach to everyday life with a sincere, disenchanted look at social and environmental topics. Some of her artworks look for the thread of a universal meaning that unites beyond all differences and cultures; some other artworks focus on ephemerality, emarginated local realities, transitional feelings, identity, and memory.

Jiayi Wang“Journey to Nowhere”
Yudi Wu
I am what Baudelaire called a 'flâneur', a person who likes to feel the city I live in, the city and the outside world through walking/wandering and other physical movements. Everything about the city and the outside world affects my psycho-emotional state and I respond to my surroundings and daily activities in response to city life. Using the camera during my wanderings/walks allow me to redigest and reconstruct the visual landscape made up of landscapes, people and objects, and also provide a valuable impetus to my creative work.
Yudi Wu“Spectacle”
