Nature Never Loses is Chinese-American artist Carl Cheng's (1942, San Francisco) first major solo exhibition in Europe.

Nature Never Loses

The presentation gives a comprehensive overview of Cheng's artworks over the past 60 years. His life's work shows that he was far ahead of his time. In his artworks, he explores how humans, nature and technology are connected. Technology is developing rapidly these days and nature is also an important topic. In his work, Cheng invites us to think about how we interact with nature. He shows that artists do not just make beautiful things. For Cheng, art is a tool to ask important questions and topics about the changes in the world.
