Shadows of Boulder Hill presents a group of seventeen powerful paintings in oil on linen and a selection of drawings by artist Tang Shuo (b. 1987 in Guangxi, China) that delve into his childhood experiences in rural southern China. This, Tang’s first book, documents the concurrent exhibitions of these works at Fabienne Levy’s galleries in Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2023.
Shadows of Boulder Hill marks a significant point in Tang’s career; in 2023 he incorporated narrative threads into his paintings for the first time, depicting young lovers, recluses and wanderers lost in imagined and remembered landscapes of lush vegetation and wildflowers. A selection of the fascinating true stories from Boulder Hill that inform Tang’s practice, personal and collective, are detailed in the gallery notes.
Shadows of Boulder Hill includes a foreword by gallerist Fabienne Levy and an essay by multidisciplinary scholar Dr Matthew Holman. Holman explores the significance of time, place, perspective and memory in Tang’s recent body of work, as he considers the impact of China’s Cultural Revolution on subsequent generations. Tang’s move to the UK in 2020 prompted him to reconsider his past and his identity in a new country. Here, Tang appears as an artist who has found his voice as he eloquently explores scenes of family, friendship, suffering, solitude and survival.

About the Author
Fabienne Levy was born into a family of collectors in Lausanne. After studying art history at New York University, she became an art consultant in Milan. In 2019 she launched her eponymous contemporary art gallery in Lausanne, near the new Musée cantonal des BeauxArts, curating five to six exhibitions annually. Her Space Invasion project nurtures local art school talent, providing a professional platform for young people, and she joined Art Paris’s selection committee in 2023. Expanding her business, she launched a Geneva gallery in 2023, which shows the same artist’s work simultaneously as her Lausanne base.
Matthew Holman holds a PhD in American art history from University College London and is currently Lecturer in Literature and Fine Arts at the University of Hertfordshire. Matthew regularly writes criticism for The Art Newspaper, frieze, the Times Literary Supplement and elsewhere. His book Frank O’Hara: Curator of Modern Life is forthcoming with Bloomsbury.
