Description
Memory aims to connect the flow of energy between the creative languages of the selected contemporary artists, creating interesting echoes and correspondences.
Chen Chunmu’s works showcased the theme of warmth and complex feelings of vision, hearing, smell, taste and tactile senses. The fantastic and seemingly complicated painting is actually simple, he paints what he conceives, and the illusive sights are poured onto the canvas.
Jorge Mayet has uprooted himself from Cuba in the mid-1990s and now settled in Brazil. His work explores the themes of dislocation and migration, as well as conveying the feeling of homesickness, disillusion, and disappointment a deported exile might endure.
The nostalgia seen in Li Yiwen’s work seems like either a way to relieve the anxiety of reality, or else a technique of self discovery. Li used pigments to further copy these electronic strokes and to revise his previous works. With new perceptions and experiences superimposed on the old images, the experiences and memories from different periods are superimposed on each other.
Nathalie Decoster approaches different themes in her works: Human relationship to time, the share of thoughts, the comparison between the life of the man and that of the nature. Through her creations, she makes us aware of the absurdity of our lives as modern humans and gives us an access to serenity.
Raymond Hains is considered as one of the most important French Post-war artists. His works constantly challenge people’s perception and definitions of art. Renowned for his torn posters and also a significant series of giant matches.
