GROUP EXHIBITION

Adam Handler explores the theme of loneliness, imagination, solitude, and connection in the form of imaginativefigures such as ghosts and wide-eyed girls, in paintings where flatness and ‘cute’ aesthetics reflect the immediacyand purity of interior worlds. Suanjaya Kencut‘s big-button eyed dolls are naÏve characters, whose feral posturessuggest lives of emotional intensity.

Mixing abstraction and figurative imagery, George Morton-Clark portrays familiar cartoon characters withexpressive, spontaneous strokes to reflect how the familiar symbols that come into our homes through televisionprograms and advertisements offer connection through consumption but leave us fragmented. Michael Scoggins‘paintings using loose-leaf paper from his school days as a motif transcribes the everyday activity of doodling in anotebook onto a grander scale. The results are optimistic and absurd, and occasionally aspirational.

Novo‘s works are still lifes composed of items that personally resonate with him. To him, painting those items isakin to creating a self-portrait because every object collected gave answers to a lingering question of ‘Who am I?’.The ‘Long Long Time Flower’ is created by Nanan Kang as a way to conserve the celebration of happiness that maynever wither away through time, offering the viewers to relish the meaning of love and happiness.
