ART BASEL IN HONG KONG

A stunning a new painting by Brook Andrew, the next Artistic Director of the 22nd Biennale of Sydney (2020), is created witharchival material that aims to challenge cultural and historicalperception, using text and image to comment on local and global issuesregarding race, consumerism and history. Also exploring a sense ofplace, we are excited to present Imants Tillers’ new work following his major survey exhibition, ‘A Journey to Nowhere’ atthe Latvian National Museum in 2018. We are delighted to feature twoimportant new paintings that use Tillers’ signature canvas boards toexplore themes relevant to contemporary culture, from thecentre/periphery debates of the 1980s to the effects of migration,displacement and diaspora. Of equal magnitude, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery isdelighted to premiere a stunning new photographic collage by Bill Henson, arguably one of Australia’s best known contemporary artists. Thisexceptional work is similar to his signatory cut-screen photographs fromthe 1980s and 1990s. Exhibited alongside is a powerful new painting by Daniel Boyd. Boyd’s practice is internationally recognised for its manifoldengagement with the colonial history of the Australia-Pacific region.Drawing upon intermingled discourses of science, religion andaesthetics, his work reveals the complexity of perspectives throughwhich political, cultural and personal memory is composed. Alsoachieving great success internationally, London-based David Noonan presents a suite of collage works. Noonan’s work creates specificatmospheres, in which subtle emotion and dramatic expression coexist in aspace of temporal complexity. The booth will also feature a newsculpture by James Angus, whose work revels in physical and spatial conundrums. Angus’ practice draws on natural and builtforms to investigate how sculpture can mediate our perception andexperience of the physical world. Also experimenting with perception andsurface Dale Frank, one of Australia’s foremost contemporary painters, presents two stunning monochrome works whichexemplify the artist’s ongoing investigations into the potentiality ofpainting, through his controlled exploitation of epoxyglass on perspex.His paintings are characterized by an immediacy of process and a tenseurgency of vision, the method of which he has mastered over severaldecades.
