Signal 8: Storm

Description
Description
The Cat Street Gallery is proud to continue it’s cultivation of a sustained dialogue between contemporary Australian artists and Hong Kong’s rapidly developing art scene. This year the gallery brings a curator’s pick of yet more rich and dynamic art to the region, and for the first time since it opened, The Cat Street Gallery’s iconic front glass windows will be used as part of the exhibition.
Archibald finalist artist, Juan Ford, has created a special installation for the show, which will take over the gallery – setting a dramatic tone for this unique exhibition. Ford’s moody ‘Conference of Birds’, is a spectacular and arresting image, evoking dark storm clouds with the intensity of its blackest part, and a magic delicacy with its lightest, becoming all the more surreal as it wraps around the building.
Inside the exhibition, the dramatic mood will continue, with bold colors, surreal shapes, multi-media – whether playing on the importance of nature and landscape, as is key in so many Australian artist’s work, or the notion of a convergence of ideas and talent, ‘Signal 8: STORM’ presents a contrasting and collaborative mix of artists.
