EXHIBITION STATEMENT
"Cross the Ocean" flows through the bodies of work of Poul Nielsen and Yulin Wang in various ways. Literally, they have shown work together across an ocean, in China and North America for more than twenty years – they have crossed the ocean together many times from Medicine Hat, Canada to Nanjing, China, hand-ferrying their works for exhibition. Figuratively, their works are oceans apart yet flow together through their enduring friendship and relationship to the viewer.

Cross the Ocean also reads as a command: be brave, be bold, expand creative reach, keep your eyes on the horizon and on the ocean surface. It is perhaps this command that leads viewers into their works. Both Nielsen’s and Wang’s works invite the viewer to flow in rather than stand outside. They capture attention from a distance, then draw the viewer in, step by step.
