London: Remi Rough – Home @ Scream

Remi Rough - Home

After nine years, Remi Rough is returning to London with a solo exhibition ‘Home’ at Scream London. The show features a large collection of complex works on wood, handmade paper and canvas, playing with themes such as balance and imbalance, tension and geometric calculations – referencing Russian Constructionists such as Theo van Doesburg and Kazimir Malevich. A large scale installation also adorns the wall of the gallery with Remi’s vibrant colours. Join Scream London on 22 October for a special Q&A session with the artist and TIMID.

London: David Shillinglaw – ‘ You are here’ @ Scream

David Shillinglaw

UK artist David Shillinglaw just opened a new solo exhibition entitled ‘You are here’ at Scream Gallery in London.

A large crowd gathered to see the recreation of the studio space of the artist like an exploration of his creative mind and enjoyed the new body of work on canvas, paper and wood, featuring symbols and typography with David Shillinglaw’s signature sunny colour palette.  Also brightening up the evening was performance artist Pandemonia present amongst the guests.

Talking about the show, David Shillinglaw mentions:  ‘Inspired by the relationship we all have with the ideas of being physically/geographically lost, and lost within our own imagination/spirituality. The overriding theme being that its ok to get lost, we all are from time to time, and in fact the process of getting lost goes hand in hand with discovery. We used to find short cuts, we used to draw maps. No we are all guilty of relying on sat-nav and following computer generated pins that lead us to where we want to go. While around us the environment (especially in the city/ especially in London) grow at an alarming rate. Add to that map millions of people, colliding and bumbling around, we are lost in a labyrinth we are convinced has been created for us.’

London: Jacky Tsai – Eastern Orbit

Jacky Tsai - Scream

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.

London: Liu Bolin – The Heroic Apparition

Liu Bolin - The Heroic Apparition

Chinese artist Liu Bolin debuted his first UK solo show The Heroic Apparition at Scream in London. The exhibition features a series of photographic self-portraits from around the world where Liu Bolin, dubbed the “invisible man”, paints himself to merge with his background. The results are breathtaking.

London: Hand to Earth at Scream

Scream - Hand to Earth

Scream and British fashion designer Matthew Williamson are presenting a two-person exhibition Hand to Earth featuring Caroline Jane Harris (UK) and Shane McAdams (USA). Both artists experiment with unusual mediums – paper, ball-point pen ink, resin – taking nature and landscapes as a starting point but with very different results.

Shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2012, Caroline Jane Harris explores the complexity of nature by creating intricate symmetrical patterns through a labour-intensive paper-cutting technique.  In contrast, Brooklyn-based painter Shane McAdams  creates his landscapes using layers of ball-point pen ink, oil and resin. Matthew Williamson was first inspired by McAdams’ work for his 2013 Summer Collection. And for his subsequent autumn collection Williamson presents a more organic, fractal pattern, which echoes Harris’s layered paper pieces.
