Hot off the back of his recently opened exhibition in Germany, where the art collecting power house Charles Saatchi himself took works from the new collection, Duncan opens his first solo show in Asia.

The American born Syrian-Danish artist Zhivago Duncan examines his contemporary world's fascination with glamour, fortune and fame. Duncan considers mass culture as messy and excessive, an attitude that physically manifests itself in his tarnished punk aesthetic. Unashamedly intrigued by the Warholian effect, the artist continues the dialogue of the original pop artists, dragging it into the bright lights of the rapidly developing twenty first century. The superficiality of celebrities and consumerism are shown in the context of cultural, economic and environmental decay. In his work, which relies on self-conscious contemporary strategies of appropriation, Duncan is unforgiving in both his conceptual stance and his creative processes.
