Ethereal light emanates from Huang Dan’s large ink painting Grand (2019), depicting pine trees with shimmering needles against the black sky. The six-meter-long painting fit the narrow but high-ceilinged space toward the back of Beijing’s N3 Contemporary Art gallery, where the artist’s 2019 solo show “Raw” opened in April.
