ART-CHITECTURE The Extensible Spatial Metaphor EYECANDIES @eyecandiescn × Kui Yuan Gallery @kuiyuangallery , Shanghai, China 16 Dec 2023 - 14 Jan 2024 Departing from the explorations of the aforementioned possibilities, the exhibition comprises three parts of intermediaries with limited materiality, including paintings, drawings, and images, serving as abstract representational symbols associated with intellectual concepts, also inviting a re-examination of the connections and distinctions in creative and experiential approaches between art exhibits and architectural exhibits in a universal cognitive sense through juxtapositions and contrasts. At the same time, widening the limitations of the existing display and storage patterns through the appropriation of transport devices, the exhibition then introduces a discourse on solidified carriers and extended transplantations, which also faithfully mirrors the analogous architectural thinking framework, endeavors not only to dematerialize the creation of spaces but also to further become a nexus between reality and non-reality, exploring and advancing the balance between authenticity and fictional imagination, ultimately revealing the extended spatial metaphor. 📷 The Extensible [2] #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition https://lnkd.in/gePb94Si

Navicula is on exhibition at the 4th Wall Gallery, 200 Parramatta Road, Stanmore, Sydney for the month of May. The work is a continuation of my exploration into walking, memory, aging and the impacts of colonisation on the land and water. It consists of a series of paintings made by tracing X-rays of my foot onto bitumen, and a group of paper-mache and carbon paper sculptures, moulded from a collection of shoemaker’s lasts from the 1960s.    In Latin the word navicular means small boat. Located in the arch of the foot,the navicula bone functions as a keystone, transferring the load and propulsion from the rear foot to the forefoot. Unlike the bones that support the body’s weight, the navicular floats, leaving no imprint on the land.   Through processes of tracing, walking, moulding and mark-making, my work addresses the ongoing effects on our bodies, community, land and water of colonisation, drawing parallels between the changes in our bodies and those that affect the land.   Navicula is 9 works on Vietnamese Doh paper with bitumen, gouache, and white carbon paper - each 38cm x 60cm and 9 paper-mache constructions with blue carbon paper, various dimensions.  

Artist Talks: Sunday, Sept. 22 | 2:00 PM | Trees, Water, Sun, Dwellings | Karen Klee-Atlin | Just Another Thought | Chaloupka, Descoteaux, Hefland | https://lnkd.in/gbaXDZqr | Just Another Thought | Chaloupka, Descoteaux, Hefland | This exhibition was originally meant to be Jacques Descoteaux’s solo exhibition. While the work of the three artists is significantly different, it seems to fit nicely on a continuum—from realism in Carole Chaloupka’s sculptures, to Jacques Descoteaux’s semi-abstract work, to Victor Hefland’s abstract sculptures. What seemed at first to be just another thought, eventually became reality – Just Another Thought. Trees, Water, Sun, Dwellings | Karen Klee-Atlin | My work centers on the natural world particularly where it meets with human disruption. To that end, I’m very interested in documenting the points where there may be a clash between conservation and commerce. This tension can be felt through the colours I use and through my choice of imagery.

Ruptured Landscapes: Elegy for a Fragile World August 1 – 24, 2024 ARTSPLACE Gallery, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia Ruptured Landscapes is a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Nova Scotian artist Eva McCauley, exploring the relationship between people and our fragile environment, a world threatened by systematic disintegration and devastation. Her paintings explore and speak to climate change, particularly on oceans and shorelines: the sea level is rising, waters are warming, storms are intensifying, lives and communities are at risk. Conjured partly from memory, partly from photographs, the figures in the paintings uneasily inhabit places that are explored in the past and present, with a focus on their relationship to bodies of water. In Ruptured Landscapes colours are used that are deliberately oppositional to mirror the intensity of feeling that comes with living in a time of environmental crisis and societal upheaval. She employs contrasting, jarring colours and strong tonal contrasts to achieve a disquieting effect to depict contemporary threats of environmental destruction but also, within these, threads of hope and determination. Experimenting with the combination of oil painting and printmaking approaches, McCauley explores a new visual language to create visceral landscapes and seascapes inhabited by figures ruptured by forces beyond their immediate control. She fragments and obscures elements of the figurative imagery to achieve an unsettling effect. There is a loose narrative in the paintings, one that is deliberately unresolved and ambiguous, to convey the feeling of uncertainty and unpredictability, with everything in flux. Her paintings vacillate between figuration and abstraction; they explore the interplay between the representational and abstract. The theme of this new body of work, Ruptured Landscapes is particularly relevant right now, because of the acute seriousness of the climate crisis. McCauley is exploring this theme—our relationship to our endangered environment—in a way that is searching and honest, yet not without hope, discovering and contributing new insights and realizations to the present urgent discourse. https://lnkd.in/egqqp-7F This body of work was funded by an Arts Nova Scotia Creation Grant, for which the artist is most grateful.
