Ewen Coates - Hatchlings
Cyrus Tang - The Fleeting Now and Eternity

Opening Friday 10 June 6pm
RSVP by 6 June .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Exhibition Until 17 July 2011

Ewen Coates
‘These objects evoke a containment of thought cast from the body.  Much the same way meditation allows inner spaciousness, a brief stepping out of the voice in your head.’ - The Artist

Ewen Coates new sculptural works are cairn-like forms that one might easily perceive as religious symbols or markers. Cast in bronze, the archaic patina that covers them only adds to this first instinctive impression. Contemplative, but possibly detached from some ancient and unknowable context, they easily hold ones gaze. Added to this is a dynamic sense of energy; the frequencies suggested by these works are dense yet pulsing with life.

Cyrus Tang
Cyrus Tang’s fascination with water is the vehicle through which her artworks both dissolve and take shape. Using a combination of animal bones and the crystallising agent Borax, Tang has enabled these skeletal remains to be encased in dazzling crystal formations. According to the artist: ‘I am trying to capture a sense of being nowhere, feeling disconnected/ alienated in the world and my eternal struggle to remember/maintain the memory of my homeland which is disappearing’. Whilst the impetus for the work is nostalgic and melancholy the resultant imagery is haunting and quietly delicate.

Johnnie Dady – An Uncertain Object
Lisa Andrew – New Works 2011

Opening Night: Wednesday 11 May, 6pm- 8pm
RSVP: 5 May .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Exhibition: 12 May - 7 June, 2011

Johnnie Dady
For this new exhibition Johnnie Dady has fabricated improbable yet commonplace objects, things that just might work, or failing that, be returned to the scrapheap of invention. Barrow, for instance may well be a chair or a barrow, but it might also be a remodelled Duchampian readymade. According to the artist: “The works are proposals or prototypes for things I imagine, but somehow they avoid being useful”. Unsteady creations they may be, but Dady’s work is grounded in the Modernist principles of old, its love of invention and irreverence to the fore. In his previous bodies of work Dady had taken to building faux antique furniture from nothing but humble corrugated cardboard sheets. Much like Picasso in his halcyon Cubist period, Dady plays with our sense of perception and reality. His third solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery, An Uncertain Object will run from 12 May to 7 June, 2011.

Lisa Andrew
New Works 2011 continues Lisa Andrew’s experimentation with the possibilities of drawing with textiles. She inscribes the drawing by adding and subtracting to conceal and reveal at the same time. The act of cutting accentuates the qualities of line and form with surface and at once allowing the line to weave across layers, giving rise to a three dimensional space out of essentially a two dimensional drawing. These layers of fabric are draped and pinned to the wall, resulting in a seemingly light and ephemeral installation. The exhibition demonstrates Andrew’s unique approach to materials, which for New Works 2011 include wax, graphite, wool, linen and Vellum, alongside different fabrics both natural and synthetic, matte and translucent. The resulting semi abstract images are inspired by industrial and craft diagrams. However, they remain true to the essence of their origin.

Zeng Pu Solo Exhibition at China International Gallery Expo (CIGE)

April 21, 2011 - April 24, 2011
China World Exhibition Center Beijing - Booth MP13

http://www.soemo-fine-arts.com/exhibition?id=42

Zeng Pu, was awarded the first Prize of the “First New Star Art Festival” in Chengdu honoring his ” Heart” series. Zeng Pu was born in Xichang, Sichuan and graduated with a master degree from the Oil Department of Chengdu Fine Art Academy of Sichuan Conservatory of Music, in 2007. He currently lives and works in Chengdu.

Zeng Pu lives in a world, which is strongly influenced by his emotions and inner imagination. He is known to have simplified his lifestyle to an extreme basic level. Compared to his lifestyle, his paintings are highly exquisite and colorful. He paints images that are emerging from his personal imagination.

Zeng Pu is a man born to Art. Painting is his life. He understands deeply that perfection lies in the details. He often uses an angle, which resembles a sea level or a distant horizon. The diluted paint is condensed, dispersed and infiltrated and captures the features of both watercolor and oil painting. The characters in the painting come out of the white void - is it the deep imagination of his heart? - and float in a space that is not defined by frames.

This is how Zeng Pu describes his work in his own words.

“I want to use my paintings to describe some fragmental moments, some of which are from the real life, some are in my imagination, and some are from the newspaper, Internet or self- photography. I hope I can draw my “feelings” on each picture. All my works are pretty small. They don’t have any background. You can combine the small paintings together randomly, or just show the painting independently. I call this series of work “HEART”, since these images are floating in white blank spaces by twos or threes, just like the characters in our heart, we sometimes feel disappointed or are running away or longing, they could suddenly appear or disappear in our memory.”
