Civico 23 Gallery will inaugurate on December 6, 2024 the solo exhibition of the young Chinese artist Teng Lingqun, titled “Digital Visions”. The exhibition presents a selection of works created in recent years through the language of digital art, exploring the boundaries, illusions, and perceptual mechanisms of images within contemporary aesthetics.
With a unique visual language, Teng Lingqun transforms the fluidity between figurative and abstract, between real and fictional, between material and virtual into a visual narrative. The works in Digital Visions evoke an atmosphere that feels familiar yet difficult to decipher: in some compositions, human figures and spaces are stretched and softened by a digital luminous flow, as if time itself were expanding; in others, the faces of cats overlap in structures reminiscent of visual collages, giving rise to a kind of dreamlike procession. Natural landscapes, meanwhile, turn into surreal scenarios shaped by light refractions and pixel agitation—water surfaces, rocks, forests, and flower fields emerge as though immersed in a misty, silent veil.
Together, these works delineate a liminal zone between the visual experience of the real and the digitally constructed world, leading viewers to “lose themselves” within the images almost without noticing. Through this visual uncertainty, the artist invites the public to reconsider their modes of perception in the digital age: when images are constantly generated, recomposed, and filtered by technology, what are we truly looking at? And how do we define the existence of the “real”?
The exhibition’s curator, Angelo D’Amato, states in his selection of the works:
“Teng Lingqun’s digital works are not merely an aesthetic exploration; they resemble a psychological experiment on visual perception. Through extremely poetic digital interventions, the artist offers the public an immersive experience in the depths of the image, allowing us to rediscover a sensory point of anchorage between the real and the illusory.”
The exhibition will remain open until December 13. During the exhibition period, the gallery will organize guided tours and meetings with the artist, offering the public the opportunity to engage directly with her unique creative language.
