This show presents a new body of paintings that develops her intuitive yet disciplined approach to abstraction; working without preparatory sketches, Zhitong allows each composition to emerge through a continuous process of construction and reconfiguration, guided by trained intuition and attentive perception. Gesture, rhythm, and colour operate as structural elements, shaping works that balance spontaneity with control.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery says the exhibition title refers to the ability to recognise meaning within chance encounters: \u201cfor Zhitong, painting becomes a site where intuition meets uncertainty, and where form and significance emerge through observation rather than intention.
