"A Dream of yūgen" will be exhibited at the Museu Europeu d'Art Modern (MEAM) in Spain, as part of "REALISM NOW | MEAM SHOW 2026."
This exhibition convenes major international artists who are central to the development of contemporary figurative and realist painting.
As an international Neo-Figurative Artist, Lo Chan Peng's work continuously explores how to redefine the meaning of being human through the warmth and craftsmanship of painting, in an age dominated by the hegemony of AI imagery. As Lo Chan Peng has always maintained: "In the near future, humanity will discover that the act of painting by hand is more important than ever, for it is a direct reflection of the human soul. For human life is not meant to be replaceable, but to manifest its unique existence."
For MEAM, a global institution dedicated to contemporary figurative art, the selection of "A Dream of yūgen" is a great honor for the creative trajectory Lo Chan Peng has long pursued.
"A Dream of yūgen" embodies the Zen concept of "Yūgen" from Eastern aesthetics—that profound, mysterious beauty lying between the visible and the invisible. Lo Chan Peng believes this represents a creative stance in resistance to cold algorithms, and a crucial path forward for realist painting and the new figurative art in our time.
This exhibition at MEAM marks the beginning of Lo Chan Peng's in-depth dialogue with the European art world. All are cordially invited to join this conversation.
