The exhibition invites four artists to work together to excavate "folding" in their abstract works of art. Their works have common aesthetic characteristics of visual abstraction and intuitive superposition, and also have their own independent and complete conceptual intentions, modes of expression and formal beauty composition system. Abstract art has been developed and precipitated so far, the infinite desire and exploration of concepts determine the basis of artistic content, and the possibility of formal sense gives concepts a more complete visual expression. "Folding" presents us with the state in which abstract art exists in the framework of facing the contemporary spirit, under the dissolution of the boundaries of various forms of expression.

The exhibition is the first art gallery solo exhibition by German artist Jonas Bogett in Asia, bringing together many of Bogett's old and new works, where the artist constructs an alternative dimension full of obscure figures. The title of the exhibition , Bloom and Lies " , is derived from the name of a work in this exhibition , which translates from the German blüht und lügt. This set of German phrases originated from some interesting German words that the artist was looking for. However, it has no substantive meaning, because the artist advocates the concept of "not much meaning" and hopes that the audience will explore his work through his own unlimited imagination.
