Holly’s Gallery (Guangzhou) and Kerlin Gallery (Dublin) are pleased to present PARK, a collaborated contemporary art exhibition featuring works of eight artists. PARK will be on view from 16 March 2017 – 31 April 2017 in Guangzhou and 19 March 2017 – 25 March 2017 in Hong Kong.
In the history of mankind, the existence of artists is indispensable, for they are sensitive toward the unknown mysterious world, which they perceive with their distinctive perception. When the barriers of language keep us far from the reality, they have already conveyed their insightful observation with their specific art forms. After modernism our cognition of the world no longer stays at the dimension of “looks like”, through the objective atmosphere and its connections artists practice their art to expound their relationship of this world: subject and object, mental activity and intelligence, social reality and individual emotions and so on, many factors are summarized and presented through their art works.
The exhibition “PARK” is composed by eight artists, in addition to Merlin James who is having fun to play the “Long game” in his poetry and imagery visual world, to a certain extent, almost we can agree that Isabel Nolan, Liam Gillick and Zhou Li have been established in the field of public art with their large installations and they have earned their good reputation in this field. In the category of abstract language, Sean Scully, Callum Innes, Zhou Li, Lillianne Tomasko, Liu Ke, etc., on one hand, some have already been in the map of modern art history, and some have known the positions where they are; on the other hand each of them has their peculiar language and their unique charm. This is exactly what the exhibition is worth to expect to. “PARK” origins from a deep talk of Darragh Hogan (art director of Kerlin gallery ) and Yefu Wang (art director of Holly’s gallery) in Guangzhou in the year of 2016. In “PARK”, as Darragh Hogan has stressed, to expect the growth of a fresh force from these distinctive artists who are of strong personalities would be exciting…
