Description
Simon Lee Gallery, Hong Kong, is proud to present a series of new paintings by Austrian artist, Heimo Zobernig, his first ever solo exhibition in Hong Kong.
For forty years Zobernig has conducted a thorough re-interpretation of the languages of formalism via an expansive body of work that moves seamlessly between an array of disciplines, from architectural intervention and installation, to performance, film, video, sculpture and painting.
While the artist draws on varied art historical movements, it is an interrogation of modernist tropes and subdivisions – colour theory, the grid, the monochrome, geometric abstraction – that underpins his practice. A critical engagement with the way in which art is framed, both physically and conceptually, is central to Zobernig’s artistic approach, which with its insistent subversion of established twentieth-century motifs and defiance of the confines of any one specific genre, evades easy categorisation.
