The show centers on A Little Bit Fat, a bird-like creature that has become a recurring figure in Jiang's practice — an embodiment of awkwardness, softness and a sense of being out of place in the city, per the artist.
In recent years, A Little Bit Fat has popped up in studios, small shows and local events, becoming a familiar presence in pockets of the Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan art community.
This exhibition marks the first time the character is presented as a dedicated body of work.
The opening is tonight from 7-9.
The show is just up through Tuesday. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Sunday from 1-7 p.m.
