The Cat Street Gallery presents a group exhibition that would be the first of its three major group shows this year. The gallery will showcase the unique gathering of five artists who hail from all over the world, and whose works cross many media, each responding to the curatorial theme of exhibition title.

Surface Tension will present over 40 works, many of which have been made specially for the show - tied together in different and critically engaging ways. Featuring one of Japan's most exciting young talents practising today, and two from Hong Kong's growing art scene, the presence of Asia-based artists is key to the identity of the show. Paired with two others from the UK and Europe, the combination of al five will present a unique look at how each artist engages with different material. Whether painting on canvas, etching on paper, glazing on sculptural pottery, or transforming images through video - each artist's fascinating individual approach to the notion of "surface" will come together to create a truly compelling exhibition.

Featured artists: Charles Munka, Shohei Takasaki, Dan Baldwin, Laurent Segretier and Mila Furstova.
