Waddington Custot London is pleased to present ‘Guardians of Time’, the first UK exhibition by acclaimed Chinese artist and designer Jiang Qiong Er. Known internationally for bridging traditional Chinese craftsmanship with contemporary design, Qiong Er presents a series of sculptural installations, wax paintings, and design objects that reimagine ancient Chinese mythology and cultural symbols through 21st century motifs. Through this, the artist offers a meditation on time, renewal, and cultural memory. Her works draw on centuries-old narratives while asking urgent questions about cultural preservation and transformation today.  Read more.
