An art show finding a connection

ALL things in this world are connected in one way or another. We are all points of consciousness, so the saying goes.

A new exhibition, “Connection” featuring six Asian artists — Lv Zhe, Kim Eunjin, Mu Huan, Fan Shiqiang, Chang Long and Cheon Yugyeon, focuses on those connections between objects and objects, objects and humans, humans and humans.

Lv Zhe’s artwork represents the journey of photographic object portraits by setting them up in a specific scene through black and white film techniques for documentary. He aims to enable the viewers to discover the mutual dialogue and inter-reactions among different objects in narrative art with a plot.

Kim Eunjin’s masterpiece “Refrigerator,” a collection from the Korean National Museum of Modern and Contemporary, reveals the interdependence and conflicts between human and ecological environment. She stirs up the viewer’s eyes and palate with her bold and vibrant colors through a vivid picture of day-to-day live scenes.

Chang Long keeps his interest in monitors in “Nowaday’s Life,” exposing the subtle connection between the monitors and the monitored.

These monitors secure the monitored crowd while peeking at their privacy at the same time.

Different from rational and objective thinking, South Korean artist Cheon Yugyeong and Chinese artist Fan Shiqiang choose a relatively light way to depict the emotional connections around human and animals through cartoonish images.

The characters, animals, porcelains, and fans become a witty and diverting balance of this group show.

 

Date: Through November 22 (closed on Mondays), 11:30am-7:30pm
