Statement:

(New York—December 9, 2023) Nestled in the bustling art hub of New York, Fou Gallery hits a milestone - ten years of diving deep into the art world and letting creativity run wild, starting way back in December 2013.///

Known for its wholehearted commitment to the meaningful and beautiful world of art, Fou Gallery has grown into a place where skill, fresh ideas, and community vibes blend together in a dazzling display of visual and performing narratives.

Over these ten transformative years, Fou Gallery has blossomed into an artistic haven, hosting 47 spellbinding exhibitions and 71 evocative creative events.These gatherings have become a melting pot for art lovers and creators from across the globe, fostering a tapestry of cultural and creative exchange.

At this pivotal moment of reflection and celebration, Fou Gallery unveils "TAKE A BREAK," an exhibition that gently diverges from its energetic roots to embrace the serene whispers of repose.

This exhibition is not just a showcase but a poetic dialogue, reimagining 'Art' not as a distant deity but as a tender companion in the dance of daily life, offering solace and enlightenment in every brushstroke and hue.

"TAKE A BREAK" is an invitation to a journey through the unspoken realms of the soul, encouraging a pause in our relentless pursuit of the next. It features twelve works from nine artists, each weaving their unique tapestry of tranquility.

From the idle contemplation in Helia Chitsazan's 'Still 7 O’clock?', to the whimsical daydreams in Saba Farhoudnia's 'The Morning After', to the tranquil solitude of Suyi Xu's 'The Staircase', and the light-hearted spirits in Meng Du's 'Singing, Twinkling, and Walking Down the Gravel'... the exhibition is an ode to the moments of quiet that anchor our being.
