Highlights

"We Paint What You Might See" is a compelling group exhibition curated by Zoe Tsang and Willa Yip, offering a deep dive into the essence of contemporary painting. The exhibition features works by Ben Ashton, Ivan Pokidyshev, and Jochen Mühlenbrink, who challenge traditional perceptions by viewing painting as a medium for reshaping visual and sensory experiences, rather than merely acting as a record of the visible world.

Program

The core of this exhibition lies in exploring the subtle gap between physical viewing and psychological perception. Rather than simply illustrating objects, the three artists utilize masterful techniques to build tension between reality and imagination, and between what is seen and what is perceived.

Notably, Ben Ashton uses classical portraiture as a foundation, cleverly integrating digital glitch aesthetics and formal fragmentation to challenge the authority and certainty historically associated with classical works. Viewers will experience a psychological tremor behind the exquisite surfaces, as previously certain visual content becomes fluid and uncertain.

  • Ben Ashton: Deconstructing classical portraiture through a contemporary lens.
  • Ivan Pokidyshev: Exploring profound interpretations of visual representation.
  • Jochen Mühlenbrink: Showcasing a unique aesthetic of perceptual painting.

Venue & Access

The exhibition will be held at "Tang Contemporary Art".
