Grey Imageries
by Tang Contemporary Art - Hong Kong
Location: Tang Contemporary Art
Artist(s): YANG Bo, HUA Peng, WU Jun Yong, YE Nan
Date: 13 Jan - 12 Feb 2010

In this exhibition, the artists explore their own perspective of life. Through their expressions, they continue into their journey.

In a year-long relationship with a charcoal pencil, Hua Peng constructed an intermixed dream-realm of animation and photographic realism. In a period of post-industrialism, the sharp eye of a man and his camera records the apparent with the press of a button; much of the past is discarded like bad pictures taken. It is hard to tell the genuine from the substitute. Is it the photographs, the obscure words, or the unreliable memory? Relentlessly, time carries on in its own course, leaving human in a never-ending incubus.

Wu Junyong’s point of interest is “an alloy of the body and politics”, weaving social portraiture between the realistic and imaginative, adapting an allegorically-symbolic narration, expressing mystic realism through individual imagery. Through facetious terminologies, Wu exhibits his world of imagination.    

Ye Nan’s artwork emits a scholarly radiance, a far-away attentiveness like rays of light through a door left ajar, undetectable of its distance. The audience need to forsake the obstinacy of aesthetics and venture into the symbiosis of these living things and scenery, for that, is Yu’s metaphor and the key to the game. 

Yang Bo’s works are always surrounded by memories, and he appropriates political and historical signs, personal memory and Identity signs to juxtapose freely social situations and psychological characteristics from different time of new China by means of  a childish funny way. He represents extremely a world of fantasy through the symbols of time. His humorous Imagination Implies some sadness and he attemps to escape from it to create another beatiful world.
