H Foundation for the Arts, San Marino
The H Foundation for the Arts is proud to present Chi: The Untamed Spirit, the first U.S. solo exhibition of contemporary Chinese painter Zheng Chi (郑驰). On view from October 18 through December 13, 2025, the exhibition invites audiences to experience the artist’s powerful transformation of personal constraint into creative freedom.The title Chi (驰), meaning “to gallop” in Chinese, embodies both motion and vitality. For the artist, who creates from her wheelchair following a life-changing accident, the word also carries profound contradiction—a longing for movement that she channels into an unrestrained artistic voice. In classical Chinese, Chi also refers to “horse,” her zodiac sign, symbolizing strength, persistence, and an untamed pursuit of life.The exhibition traces Chi’s creative journey across major series such as Leda and the Swan, The Color of Pomegranate, Red Series, Mythology, Golden, Blue Flame, and Flowers–Fish–Bones.Through these works, Chi’s painting becomes a site of confrontation and release, reflection and renewal—an act of breathing through paint.
