At the same time as President Trump is announcing new USA tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese imports, raising the tensions in trade between the two countries, Ed Moses and Qin Feng are bridging across the cultures and the generations at Blain|Southern in London.

In the cool white double-height spaces overlooking Hanover Street, paintings and ink drawings by Ed Moses and Qin Feng contrast and compliment each other.  Despite being born in different countries and different ages, 35 years apart (192 and 1961), the two artists have crossed the divides from east to west, Qin Feng having moved for a time from China to Germany and then the USA in the 1990′s where he fused Western and European art with traditional Chinese ink patterns, while Ed Moses, one of South California’s leading artists, became interested in Buddhism in the 1970′s, spending three months in a Buddhist monastery in 1971 – around the same time that John Lennon of the Beatles was also becoming interested in the religion, with hints of this in the words of his famous song ‘Imagine’.

The work of both artists is timeless and the two compliment each other beautifully.
