HONG KONG STOP.MOTION – EXHIBITION PART 2 @ CULTURE CLUB

ON 30 OF SEPTEMBER WE HAD A GREAT OPENING OF THE SECOND PART OF THE EXHIBITION “HK STOP.MOTION” @ CULTURE CLUB (ELGIN STREET 15, SOHO). I MOVED ALL PAINTINGS FROM KAPOK (THE VENUE HOSTING THE FIRST PART) AND ADDED FEW MORE WORKS WITH LED LIGHTING INCORPORATED. WE HAD ONCE AGAIN A GREAT EVENING WITH A LOT OF INTERESTING PEOPLES. WE HAD ONCE AGAIN SO MUCH TO SAY THAT I FELT LIKE THE BALL IN THE FLIPPER BOUNCING FROM ONE PERSON TO OTHER. FINALLY I WAS PLEASED TO SEE IT HAPPEN. IT WAS THE 2 PART AND THE LAST ONE. SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL PARTNERS : POLCHAM HONG KONG,  THE ART MOVEMENT, CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN HK,  CULTURE CLUB

HK STOP MOTION - OPENING PARTY

WHAT’S NEXT ? I WILL SHOW SOME OF THE PAINTINGS ON TEDEX PEARL RIVER EVENT BY THE END OF THE MONTH. BUT I GUESS WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NEW EXHIBITIONS IT’S TO REVISE WHAT I’VE DONE AND FIND A NEW TOPICS FOR EXPLORATIONS. THERE IS THE STORY OF MOVEMENT AND THERE IS THE STORY OF ANGELS IN THE CITY – PEOPLES BECOMING ANGELS BECAUSE OF THE SPEED – I GUESS THAT’S THE PATH TO FOLLOW.

PAINTINGS - Me, myself and I

PAINTINGS -  Me, myself and I “ME, MYSELF AND I”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING      .

EVERY CITY HAS IT’S STRUCTURE MADE OF BUILDINGS, LINES AND TRANSPORTATION SURFACES. IT’S A PLAYGROUND THAT IS FILLED WITH LIFE PATTERNS. WHERE AM I IN ALL THIS GAME ? DO I LIVE ANY TRACE BEHIND ? I MAKE MY NAME XYZ BLINKING WITH LED LIGHT, TRYING TO COMPETE WITH BANKS AND JEWELRY SHOPS. I PUT MY NAME BETWEEN OTHERS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A PART OF THIS CITY.

PAINTINGS -  In & Out “IN AND OUT”

SIZE : 122 X 122 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING

.

.

“PAINT WHAT YOU SEE AND NOT WHAT YOU KNOW” USED TO SAY MY PAINTING MASTER. ON THIS PICTURE I SAW BIG MOVING CUBES, MACHINES WHERE PEOPLE GOES INSIDE OR GET OUT. IT CREATES FLOW SIMILAR TO THE HEART BEATING. IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT AND HUMANS – MACHINES, HUMANS – MACHINES.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Flow “FLOW”

SIZE : 170 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, COINS

WALKING IN THE MORNING TO WORK I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVEMENT OF THE CITY. THIS FORCE THAT FILL UP BUILDINGS, STREETS AND CORRIDORS. IN ONE MOMENT THERE IS A MULTITUDES OF FLOWS THAT PASS THROUGH : CARS, GOODS, INFORMATION, (NEWSPAPERS), MONEY, BLOOD… PEOPLE ARE THE REASON AS WELL AS THE MATTER OF THIS PERPETUAL FLOW.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  I (be)live my life ” I (BE) LIVE MY LIFE”

SIZE : 170 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT,  SPRAY PAINT, CONCRETE               .

WHEN YOU WATCH PEOPLE GOING TO WORK IN THE MORNING THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING TO MEET THEIR LOVER; SERIOUS AND CONFIDENT THAT THE LIFE THEY HAVE CHOSEN IS THE RIGHT ONE. PAINTING SUCH A SCENE IN CENTRAL ONE MORNING AT 9 AM I ASKED DO I BELIVE (IN) MY LIFE? IT IS A QUESTION TO MYSELF AND TO EVERYONE WALKING IN FRONT OF ME; ONE THAT PONDERS ON BELIEVING AND LIVING (IN) YOUR OWN LIFE.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Time “TIME”

SIZE : 136 X 84 CM.       MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING                                   .

I’M OBSESSED WITH TRACES, SOMETHING THAT IMPRINTS TIME. HERE I ASSIGN ONE COLOR PER MOVING OBJECT. WHEN TIME PASSES, CARS AND HUMANS ARE ALREADY FAR AWAY BUT THE TRACES OF IT PRESENCE REMAIN MELTING WITH HAPPENINGS THAT ARE COMING.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Busy angels - X ” BUSY ANGELS”

PAINTINGS -  Busy angels - Y SIZE : 180 X 100 CM

PAINTINGS -  Busy angels - Z  MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

FOR THIS SERIES OF 3 PAINTINGS I SHOT PHOTOS IN THEIR NEGATIVE FORM. THE SKY TURNS TO BLACK WHILE PEOPLE APPEAR WHITE, PURE AND NOT BEING HERE. WHEN “LIVING THE SPEED”, TO FOLLOW HEIDEGGER, HUMANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE PHYSICAL WORLD. I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ABSENCE USING THE METAPHOR OF ANGELS; A 21ST CENTURY EVERYDAY’S LIFE BECOME A DIVINE STORY. MY SIGNATURE ALSO DISAPPEAR SPREAD BETWEEN 3 DIFFERENT MOMENTS.

PAINTINGS -  Savour kindness “SAVOUR KINDNESS”

SIZE : 136 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT                                                                                                                      .

I FOUND THIS SENTENCE OF AN AMERICAN ARTIST JENNY HOLZER ON A BAG OF A LADY WAITING FOR HER SHOES. “SAVOUR KINDNESS BECAUSE CRUELTY IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE LATER”. THERE IS A CRUELTY IN THE CROWD FLOWING THROUGH THE TOWN. THERE IS NO ATTENTION REGARDING OTHERS – ONLY MY GOAL, MY MEETINGS, MY LIFE. BEING KIND IT’S THE CAPACITY TO SEE OTHERS NEED.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS - I go right “I GO RIGHT”

SIZE : 140 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT,  STENCIL

.

NOW A DAYS YOU DON’T NEED TO KEEP THE SAME PEOPLE AROUND YOU, YOU DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOUR JOB FOREVER, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR POINT OF VIEW AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. LIFE IS FINALLY YOUR OWN CHOICE. FROM THE OTHER HAND BEING THE DECISION MAKER OF YOUR WORLD MAKES YOU UNCONFIDENT AND DOUBTFUL. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO ? AM I GOING THE RIGHT WAY ?

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Balance in chaos “BALANCE IN CHAOS”

SIZE : 158 X 84 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

HERE I CAPTURE A MAN BALANCING ON HIS BICYCLE BEHIND A CAR ON HIS WAY TO WANCHAI. HONG KONG REQUIRES FLEXIBILITY AND YOU HAVE TO MASTER THE SKILL OF READINESS. A MOMENT HERE IS NEVER STILL, BUT RATHER ABOUT MAINTAINING A STATUS QUO.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Water and fire “WATER AND FIRE”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

THE CITY EXPANDS OVER FORESTS, MOUNTAINS AND EVEN WATER. IT IS REMINISCENT OF A FIRE THAT BURNS EVERY SURFACE. AGAIN THE BORDERS HAVE BEEN SHIFTED ONCE MORE IN THE VICTORIA HARBOR WITH WATER REPLACED BY YET MORE CONSTRUCTION.

———————————————————————————————————————-

PAINTINGS -  Looking back “LOOKING BACK”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

TWO ELDERLY MEN STAND BEHIND A BALUSTRADE LOOK OUT AT THE EVER EXPANDING CITY. NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT LOOK AND BE LOOKED BACK UPON.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME THEN AND I KEEP YOU UPDATED !
