London: Jacky Tsai – Eastern Orbit

June 1, 2014 butterfly

Chinese born artist Jacky Tsai is launching his first solo exhibition at Scream in London. Like the iconic floral skull motif that he created for British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, Tsai’s artwork is a fusion of East and West. Utilising the traditional techniques of lacquer carving, silk embroidery, hand-painted porcelain and cloisonné, the show Eastern Orbit addresses the cultural exchange between Asia and the West and the artist aspires to revolutionise contemporary Chinese art and craft with Western Pop imagery.

Mr Freeze - Frigo

For the second year running the association Faute O Graff is curating ”Mister Freeze”, an exhibition featuring small gallery artworks to large scale installations. This year the exhibition is taking place in two abandonned places: Le Frigo (“The Fridge”) where the first exhibtion took place in 2013 with small scale artworks, and large scale installations in a secret place.

For this new episode of Mister Freeze Nite & Day, street and graffiti artists are playing on both fields and showing their diversity of tools and techniques.

Stay tuned for the part 2

London: Richard Jackson – New Paintings @ Hauser Wirth

May 25, 2014 butterfly

Los Angeles-based artist Richard Jackson just opened an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in London. Inspired by abstract expressionism and action painting, Jackson has created dynamic sculptures around which paint is thrown or shot out loosely. An installation features a row of sculptures of men bending over forwards with their trousers at their ankles, aiming their rears at the wall. Upon activation of Jackson’s device, paint squirted out of each of their rear ends, staining the wall.

Another installation, “Shower Room” (2013), show smeared paint inside a shower room, with an uncanny resemblance to blood, reminding of a reconstitution of the shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.”
