Zhang Zikang wishes the exhibition a success
The first time I saw TUTU's works was at the Guangzhou Contemporary Art Expo. I will continue to pay attention to the novel temperament of his works. Although I can't attend the opening ceremony this time, I also wish TUTU's absurd theatre a successful opening.——Zhang Zikang
Director of the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts
Mr. Feng Xi's speech
TUTU's picture shows the sense of generalisation of all sentient beings. At first glance, everyone seems to be cheerful, but what is hidden behind it is the connotation of tragedy, which cannot be broken. From the creation of abstract expression to the graffiti style, TUTU's picture has returned to the world from metaphysics.——Feng Xi
Curator
Ms. Bao Yu's speech
The anxiety of modern people has become a common psychological state, especially after the epidemic. During the epidemic, we pay more attention to family relations and amplify the advantages and disadvantages of the people in front of us. Some people are more intimate and open-minded, while others are more anxious...
TUTU's works come from the triviality of life. He has no dissatisfaction, no complaints, all emotions and helplessness are left on the picture in a humourous way, smearing interesting words, challenging the aesthetics of the viewer and challenging your attitude towards life.
Isn't our life an absurd theatre that is staged every day? In our own "theatre", we should always remember that you are the absolute first protagonist.——Bao Yu
Co-Founder of Common Art Center
Speech by Mr. Li Shuai
As a visual creative brand, MVM has been connecting with the annual group with content in line with the current aesthetic trend.From the standpoint of the "creator", MVM hopes to link multi-level artistic resources based on the vision to create a set of thinking modes and aesthetic systems for young people that can help them improve their dimensions. At the same time, from the standpoint of "supporters" of cultural and art projects, MVM hopes to focus on contact with artists like Li Zhuo who have certain requirements and standards for themselves and have a certain aesthetic ability, and by providing high-quality resources for excellent art teams and artistic activities, so that those groups who share our frequency You can have a healthier opportunity and creative environment.
The joint release of the "Absurd Theatre" exhibition with the Joint Art Centre is also a new attempt for MVM. I hope that friends who come to watch it can feel it and explore new curiosity and generate new experiences in TUTU's immersive black humour.

Mr.tutu‘s speech
Much of my inspiration comes from my son. When I had no way to write in the face of the blank canvas, my son's child's unique way of writing and graffiti made me rethink the deliberate pursuit of "poor" and "smart" in my creation, so I returned to the natural creative mode and began to find the truth in the work.——TUTU

TUTU's paintings always have a naughty sense of humour.
It is precise because this black humour permeates TUTU's works.
It gives him a unique artistic charm and the connotation of the adult world.
The theme of the theatre of this exhibition also insinuates the dramatic effect on the TUTU screen.

The works in this exhibition are more than 60 representative works carefully selected by the artist, full of connotation and metaphor, providing a double-layered "feast" of mind and vision for the viewer.

The theme concept of the exhibition "Absurd Theatre" comes from the expression of black humour in the TUTU picture. Black humour is an absurd and sick literary genre. It is a comedy that juxtaposes pain and laughter, absurd facts with calm and commensurate reactions, cruelty and tenderness. This is also exactly the concept conveyed by TUTU's

In order to create an immersive theatre-like viewing experience for the audience, this exhibition adopts a lot of details in curation to create an atmosphere. When these aspects echos the artist's work, it is hoped that it can add different angles of footnotes to the artist's creation.
