Issy Wood's first Asia solo dazzles in Beijing

A painting sensation in the art world, Wood, who graduated from RA Schools in 2018, has been invited to hold solos at a number of the world's prestigious art museums, including the Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art and Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

When asked why he decided to curate a museum exhibition for an emerging artist like Wood, Huang said it's in line with X Museum's founding mission, giving a platform to young artists from both home and abroad.

"We dare to hold museum solos for young artists who are still fledgling in their careers, which can help them flourish fast," Huang said, adding the museum is already planning on holding solos for artists like Wood.
