RECONNECT

7 July - 6 August 2020

Now that the time to RECONNECT has arrived, 3812 Gallery invites you to rediscover your connection with art as we reflect on our shared values and support of one another, and as we take time to value compassion, love and laughter. Through RECONNECT, we also want to use this pause from busy city life to reconnect with our planet, and to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Embrace with us the equilibrium, harmony and tranquility of Shan Shui (山水) through this bespoke summer collection, curated by Calvin Hu - our gallery co-founder and curator of the internationally renowned MGM Cotai Chairman’s Collection. RECONNECT mirrors the harmony of our artists as they guide us through their worlds.

WE INVITE YOU TO CLICK ON THE ARTWORKS BELOW FOR MORE DETAIL.

ZAO WOU-KI WAS RENOWNED FOR HIS USE OF BOTH EASTERN AND WESTERN ARTISTIC TRADITIONS AND EMPLOYED BOTH SIMULATANEOUSLY TO CREATE ABSTRACT PAINTINGS IN A GESTURAL STYLE, THAT HAVE ACHEIVED INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM AND COLLECTABILITY.

'His abstract oil paintings combine calligraphic liveliness with an atmospheric depth that... is the expression of his instinctive Chinese feeling for three-dimensional space. The Chinese artist is never concerned with the surface of things. He is always aware of what lies behind it, and the misty distances that fill so many traditional paintings hint at a reality that exists beyond what the eye can see.'

Extract from The Meeting of Eastern and Western Art written by Michael Sullivan, Art Historian
LIU GUOFU
'Now the surface has depths. Neither the illusion of depth that would have been created by the colouring effect, nor the recourse to artificial flatness as an apparent opposite. Depth emerges as an effect of colour’s insistence. In other words, it emerges as part of the work of the surface. Liu Guofu’s works colour surfaces. There is surfacing colour'.

'On one hand, Mr. Wang stresses the importance of tradition, the responding connection between tradition and the full picture. On the other hand, his works shows that tradition cannot continue itself and stress the idea of "rupture."'

'Dreams usually occur involuntarily in our mind through a succession or fragmentation of images, sounds, colours, ideas, emotions, and sensations. What if A.I. Gemini dreams?'

Victor created a "fragmentation algorithm" to distort the lights and re-assemble A.I Gemini's "mindscape". When the white light is distorted, red, blue and green appear on the rice paper, showing bold and strong colours in a Fauvism style.

'The fire burned my joy and pain, as well as my depression and dreams. All of these, accompanied by the memories of my yesterday, were gone with the wind. What remained were the burnt traces and the burnt smell. I discovered some kind of ‘mark’ from this fire, I found a language form that enabled me to speak'…

'How do we perceive our order? It starts with nature. And then it evolves into man and then beyond that, where human beings can really start to think beyond their immediate selves, and go into a cosmic,or spiritual or abstract sense of existence'...

'Facing the end of life, the lotus nevertheless bears a sense of endurance and hope, this anticipation for new life is the beauty of life. From another perspective, these are abstract imageries composed of dots, lines and planes, in which the artist expresses his passion towards life and his admiration of nature. Resonating with the form of the lotus, Huang reflects his feeling of tranquility subconsciously in his abstract expression, which is distinctive of the traditional Chinese concept of poeticism.'

'When the inner part of our spirit is juxtaposed with the outside world, in fact, we could see that their nature is the same. However, the appearances they reveal would be divided into the inner world and the outer world. Consequently, this presents the essence, the richness and the internal order of the universe.'
