International Contemporary Art - The Golden Present
by Metaphysical Art Gallery
Location: Metaphysical Art Gallery
Date: 1 Jan - 28 Feb 2011

The shatters of life fly in legends from ancient to modern time. The artworks for long are the beautiful turns of every artist. The mature profundity needs no word to explain, letting audience read the meaningful splendid of the contemporary; making the gorgeous exploration in the boundless space of imaginations.

This exhibition includes works by Kusama Yayoi, Yoshitaka Amano, Yoshitomo Nara, Gary Baseman, Kwon Ki-Soo, Rieko Sakurai, Eddie Kang, Wang Pan-Yuon, Chu Teh-Chun, Wu Hao, Huang Ming Chang, Yang Mao-Lin, Jang Tarng Kuh.

Kusama Yayoi transforms the ordinary polka dots into her infinite creations. Her mental illness makes her create a gloomy and colorful world, in which we look back and forth between reality and illusion, seeking the ultimate meaning of life. Yoshitaka Amano uses strongly contrasting brilliant colors on the aluminum to build a fantastic space where the past and future coexist, expressing an immense wave, but still elegant as a poem. Yoshitomo Nara represents small figures with big head and big eyes, making different looks of various emotions. The eyes look around all livings in 360 degrees, the words lingering between the lips, to gently expose this hypocritical, repressed and plotted world; to force everyone to face the very beginning thought inside the heart. Gary Basemen chooses to uncover those inevitable paradoxes and conflicts before you. At the first glance at his works, they look like extremely colorful and sweet characters and figures of cuteness of the fairy tale, but in fact they are undeniable metaphors for adults. The primary character Dongguri in Kwon Ki-Soo’s painting strolls in the fancy forest with firework-like straight boles and flourishing flowers and where is drawn the various colors of emotions, simple but rich; cheerful but profound. Eddie Kang presents the fictional social pressure and solitude individual life which he cares with the grown-up tale and solitude subject. It seems chaotic and vague, but in fact implies sharp and wise observations and interpretations.

Wang Pan-Yuon settles the plots in the simple frame in which has a vast and boundless space and an endless quest. His touches are delicate and subtle; his colors are radiant and warm. They demonstrate different kind of attractions. Wu Hao enables to use each color to the perfection and transforms it into the magical brilliant color. Every flower emits different fragrance amid its flying and dancing. Huang Ming Chang quietly cultivates the boundless green rice field on the canvas, the seedlings under the warm sunlight shimmer differently subtle light shadows. Jang Tarng Kuh prefers to “realize backyard garden”. Like the presentation of modern poetry, the aroma is given on the canvas, while the meanings and imaginations beyond the paintings are left for audience to dream.

Life is actually the interlacing of bitter and sweet, a thought-provoking fancy journey. The very first of this century, 2011, Metaphysical Art Gallery will bring you the moment of the eternal vibration, an imaginary stage for your beautiful blooming.
