AISHONANZUKA is pleased to present a new exhibition, “Hidden Body”. A group exhibition of five Hong Kong artists running from 7th January to 4th February, 2017. The artists including CHAN Suet Yi, CHEUNG Tsz Hin, Bosco LAW Ka Lam, LING Pui Sze and Stanley SHUM Kwan Hon. Born in the late 80s they share similar awareness and dissatisfaction as they grow up in the same era. In this exhibition, each artist is bringing their unique perspectives on “Hidden Body” while reflecting the sense of powerlessness they went through in life.
With a strong attraction to the atmosphere of stillness and movement, CHAN Suet Yi recreates such aura in paintings and drawings with unknown landscapes and spontaneous events. For all these stories behind the images, there is no specific time, space and meaning. CHAN also concerns with the marks left by human activities in the cities and the natures. The stories existed in the past could only be rebuilt through one’s imaginations.
Daily life and found images are incorporated in CHEUNG Tsz Hin's works. CHEUNG considers collecting and examining the everyday lives of oneself and others provide clues for one to live with patience and calm, like the game of hide-and-seek. Through selecting, empathizing and tampering, he uses painting to build the experiences in life.
The work of Bosco LAW Ka Nam is concerned with individuality and self-awareness. He makes detailed drawings that combine elements of the natural world and the imaginary, and the place in the sub- consciousness where the two overlap. His work has certain parallels with automatic writing in which the text comes not from the conscious mind but from some subconscious, spiritual or supernatural source.
LING Pui Sze presents the abstract natural phenomena through three dimensional sculptural collages. Concerning the laws in nature and the relationship among people, she creates organisms as her imagination on how to break through dilemmas hidden in the passive statuses. Shifting between the role of controlling and being controlled is similar to the surviving game in biosphere.
Stanley SHUM Kwan Hon repeats his black strokes again and again to accumulate a weight of disturbance for his subjective matters, which reveals a "Half-lost" state of mind in which spirit is constrained in quietness. Hinting the astray of an individual or community by virtue of the declining of basic values and ethnic principles is rampant in nowadays society, his artistic imageries symbolize the innuendos of power, worship and cultural sentiments.
There will be a reception party on 7th January at 5pm with the artists in present. Our sincerest anticipation in seeing you all at the exhibition.
AISHONANZUKA 將於⼆零⼀七年⼀⽉七⽇⾄⼆⽉四⽇舉辦名為 《Hidden Body》的聯展,當中展出五名80年代末出⽣的⾹港藝術家包括陳雪兒、張⼦軒、羅家南、凌佩詩和沈軍翰的作品。相同時代的⽣活及成⻑令他們所感相通,展覽將呈現出各⼈對「Hidden Body」的不同詮釋,藉以反映藝術家曾經歷過的無⼒感。
陳⽒的作品關注⼀種安靜⽽流動的氣氛,她通過繪畫無以名狀的⾵景與事故重現這種氣氛,這些景物沒有特定的時間、地點和意義。她關注⾃然與城市中⼈類活動所遺留的痕跡,曾經發⽣的故事如今只可以想像重現。
張⽒以⽇常⽣活及蒐集回來的影像作為創造的⼀部份。他相信收集及檢視⾃⾝及他⼈的⽇常⽣活能找到耐⼼及平靜⽣活的線索,就仿似捉迷藏。透過挑選、代⼊及篡改,他以繪畫構築⽣活的質感。
羅⽒視繪畫為冥想的過程,常⽤類似「⾃動寫作」的創作⽅式,並以細緻的筆觸點描出圖象,並相信其為創作者潛意識的載體。從刻劃與消除的過程間,思考個體於關係中的獨特性及存在價值。
凌⽒以⽴體的拼貼呈現抽象⾃然現象。她關注⼤⾃然規律和⼈與⼈之間的關係,利⽤⽣物作為創作主體,思考消極狀態中潛藏著嘗試打破困局的想像。控制者與被控制者的⾓⾊對換如同⽣物界中的⽣死博弈。
沈⽒受到政治環境影響,對在地價值理念、權⼒意象重新反思,透過於畫布上重覆累積的筆觸,讓被描繪之物象呈現⼀種凝固了的騷動,記錄個⼈及社群⾝處於「半迷路」的抽空狀態。
五位藝術家將會出席在⼀⽉七⽇(星期六)五時展覽開幕,歡迎前來畫廊參觀。
