Press Release

As the temperature in Hong Kong ticks slowly upward toward 28 degrees Celsius, flying saucers steadily emerge from seven dark flat voids. This isn’t an alien invasion or archangels descending from Heaven, but the slow revelation of Aryo Toh Djojo’s groundbreaking new series of thermochromic paintings. These works on canvas come to life—as much as inanimate painted surfaces can be literally brought to life—through subtle shifts in room temperature, fluid circumstances that determine the visibility of the imagery.

Across the room from these heat-sensitive apparitions hover three soft-edged abstract paintings, born from the artist’s interest in drone music, transcendental meditation, and photographic light leaks. Thermally reactive like the UFO images, the color field paintings reveal and conceal nonrepresentational chromatic atmospheres, suggestive of the inner energetic spaces we human beings can access through deep meditation.

About the Gallery
Emmanuel Perrotin founded his first gallery in 1989 at the age of 21. He has opened since then over 17 different spaces, with the aim of continuing to offer increasingly vibrant and creative environments to experience artists work. He has worked closely with his roster of artists, some since more than 25 years, to help fulfill their ambitious dreams and projects. The gallery is now based in New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, and participates in all the significant worldwide art fairs each year (Art Basel (Hong Kong, Miami, Basel), Frieze (London, New York), FIAC (Paris), Dallas Art Fair, Art Cologne, Art Stage Jakarta, Expo Chicago, Art021 & West Bund Art & Design, Shanghai, Zona Maco Mexico, amongst others).
