Some 18 years ago, Yu Zhenli, then a rising contemporary artist, gave up a promising future of fame and success, and started a life of solitude in the mountains near his hometown Dalian, Liaoning province. He utilized stones, construction wastes and household garbage in art creation, by which he reflected upon the craze for rapid urbanization. His abstract works are on display at his solo show, Self-deportation, together with diaries in which he reviewed social issues during seclusion, as well as posters he created in the 1970s.
