斑馬、草莓、飛蛾、肝、青蛙、觀音，毛毛的作品中時常出現一些奇特怪誕而又樸實平凡的 元素，構築出童話般色彩絢爛的奇幻世界——當我們細看畫裏的故事，會發現這個童話並不是看起來那麼美好，陽光下並不都是樂園。一個愛做夢的女人訴説著平淡 的話語，卻在不經意間讓人驚起冷顫。她的作品起因都是一些生活中很微小的際遇，可能是一本書、一句話、一首歌——比如女間諜約瑟芬·貝克的案例則讓她得出 “嘴太松，船會沉”的結論。

此次在星空間舉辦的個展，將是藝術家對近三 年創作經歷的一次階段性梳理和呈現——它們都是獨一無二的絕版回憶。

Zebras, strawberries, moths, livers, frogs, the buddha of mercy Guanyin, and all manner of strange and familiar elements are always appearing in Mao Mao's works, constructing a splendid world of fantasy. When we examine the stories in her paintings, we learn that fairy tales aren't as innocent as we expected, and not everything growing under the sun is a pleasant garden. A daydreaming girl is speaking plainly and has inadvertently aroused a chill. Her works are inspired by ordinary life encounters, perhaps a book she read, something she heard, a song––like the story Josephine Baker's clandestine under cover persona.

This exhibition in Star Gallery covers her work over the previous three years––each canvas a unique, fading fast memory.
