Trust the River: Timur Si-Qin
-
Albion Jeune is pleased to present Trust the River, Timur Si-Qin’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Drawing from a rich artistic practice across media, spanning more than a decade, and with a deep respect for nature, Si-Qin’s new works continue to explore urgent themes at the intersection of ecology, culture, and spirituality.

Building on his ongoing interest in the correlation between biodiversity and cultural diversity, indigenous wisdom centred on the natural world and its conservation, Si-Qin’s sculptural works take on organic forms in all-metallic sheen. The artist has once more deferred to the precise technique of 3-D printing, subsequently casting the pieces in stainless steel. In conjunction with respecting ancient ways, Si-Qin also acknowledges emerging (sub)cultures by lending his works an affective contemporary visuality.

Proceeds from a Rock panel work, made from the 3-D scans of Saudi Arabian cliffs, will support the permanent conservation of 35,014 acres of land in Ausangate, Peru. This Indigenous-led conservation project safeguards a vital and sacred high Andean ecosystem, including threatened wetlands and glaciers that provide essential water resources to surrounding communities and crucial ecosystem services to the region. As a strategic climate donation by the artist and the gallery, the sale of this artwork will receive a cumulative 300% in matching funds from partner organisations. The funds will support the formal declaration of the conservation area in Peru.
