The Cat Street Gallery presents a brand new show of works by Australian artist: Andrew Taylor. Returning to Hong Kong with his second solo show, Taylor brings this latest series of paintings, celebrating a new colour palette with his trademark floral motifs that act as moments frozen in time. In a world saturated with images and hyperventilating with speed, Talor finds room to pause and reflect.
His engaging yet subtle canvasses present the viwer with a window into the artist's vision - one where the natural world reigns supreme, and stands still, giving us a moment to reflect and dream. In a sense, each work is a metaphor for the modern condition - which seeks out equilibrium and calm amidst chaos and commerce.
A truly gifted colourist, Taylor's compositions balance a figurative yet abstract line, often with an eastern sensibility in his cherry blossom imagery. Such sensibilities draw further still from the artists' insistence that one should be ale to seek solace in the natural world, and be joyful of it in the face of our rapidly moving world around us.
