Shanghai Powerlong Museum is hosting a solo survey of Michelle Blade’s work, exploring rivers as both physical and conceptual forces. Blade’s paintings layer translucent acrylics and ink on stretched linen, producing dreamlike landscapes where abstract details emerge from the flow of pigment. Her approach emphasizes movement, memory, and transformation, with a style that blends Romanticism, Magical Realism, and personal mythology. The show presents a series of works that consider rivers not just as watercourses but as living archives, capturing gestures, stones, and currents in their continual reshaping.
