Fabrik is thrilled to present Kako Peco's third exhibition entitled "Unrestrained".

Kako Peco's exploration of the body's relationship with movement has been an on going theme in her ouvre. This time "unrestrained" presents 4 works that examine modern dance and traditional ballet. "Stripping ballet of all the superfluousness and to express in movement the essence of life rather than to tell a story through character of situation was Isadora Duncan's aim. She really was the pioneer of modern dance rebelling against the prevalent artistic conventions of her day which she thought rendered dancing contorted, inexpressive and artificial. This applies to my work where my subjects had to move naturally rather than resist the law of gravity, for movements not corresponding to the basic function and design of the human form were unnatural."

Emphasizing on strength, power, athletic forms and shapes, this exhibition springs from the undulations of the body's rhythms sympathetic to the organic style and free form technique the artist is known for.

Born in 1987, Kako Peco graduated from the Hong Kong Art School and finished with a higher diploma in Fine Art in 2008. She has participated in various group shows in Hong Kong including the Daily Preview Exhibition at the White Tube Gallery in 2008. In 2010, her works have been shown at the Fotan Artist Open Studios and the Youth Visual Arts Exhibition at the Hong Kong Central Library. Her works have been chosen to show in the Harumi MOMOSE Exhibition by Gallery Uehara in Tokyo, as well as in “A Moving Exhibition” held at different galleries from Bethnal Green to Battersea in London. In 2011, she launched her first exhibition with Fabrik called ‘999’. In 2012, she mounted a show entitled ‘Free Run’ under the Fabrik8 group.
