We are committed to discovering and supporting provincial and international emerging artists that are in the younger generation, broadening the horizons of vernacular contemporary art collections, promoting the development of the contemporary art market, and cultivating the younger Chinese collectors. ​ Since the establishment of the gallery, building integration has always been our guide in exploring and managing artists and works.

We focus on the inner connections between artists' works and the relationship between the artworks and the audience - thoughts, culture, emotions, epoch, techniques, etc. This purpose will constantly lead us to explore and growing. ​ Our exhibitions including multi-discipline contexts and aim to stimulate in-depth discussions of cultural attitudes and visual landscapes. With the energy of exhibitions, we are introducing a new generation of outstanding artists to collectors' horizons, helping collectors build their own aesthetic system and collections, and at the same time activating international exposures for artists who are still in the early stages of their careers. GALLERY FUNC hopes to establish an international image as a "pioneer" of contemporary art, build a bridge of spiritual integration between art and the public through the gallery as a platform, outline the profiles of different cultural milieu in contemporary art, and inspire inner spirit of this generation.

錨點 1 Peter Jeppson b.1985 The work of artist Peter Jeppson will steal you away from your own reality and have you placed in a world of his own creation, complete with his irresistibly curious characters. Bubbling with texture and vivid emotions, Jeppson’s creatures put a new, strange twist on cartoons — as they are far from the cartoons you may be used to seeing on television. Instead, the artist paints his characters with complicated expressions that are not so easily understood, making them anything but one-dimensional. Jeppson’s characters are created not only two-dimensionally in paint, but are also brought into the third dimension in his densely layered and brilliantly peculiar sculptures. These somewhat humorous figures are interesting in a way that is just slightly off, leaving the complexity of the artist’s work at its surface. ​ Describing himself as self-taught, the artist's artistic path is very similar to many others: the beginnings of doodling led him into illustration/graphic design and then further into painting, which became what the artist has been doing for many years. He has always been fascinated by the figure, and when the artist began to work more in illustration, he practised drawing it regularly. According to himself, there is a fine line between the cute and crispy cartoons with dramatic expressions and the characters that give impressions of being more vague and complex in their state of mind, and he aims for the second one there.

GIOVANNI MOTTA April 24 2021 - June 6 2021 Game Over play again? INSTALLATION VIEWS WORKS ARTISTS ROOMINTHEROOMBASSA.jpg ​Giovanni Motta Gallery Func is pleased to present GAME OVER play again? - the new solo exhibition of Giovanni Motta in which will be exhibited 14 paintings in acrylic on canvas and 2 sculptures, one in fiberglass and one in bronze, of the recent production of the Italian artist. ​ Belonging to the so - called Generation X and having grown up, therefore, in the eighties, it is not surprising that the signs and codes of the evolutionary age assume, for him, the form of objects that can be traced back to that decade. Japanese manga and anime, American cartoons and the first videogames, the user - friendly technology of the origins, with that mixture of simplicity and candor, and the entire merchandise catalog of the consumerism of the Eighties appear in his paintings as epiphenomena, revelations that correspond to states of mind lost in the meanders of memory, removed from the conscious layers of adult life. The personification of Giovanni Motta's puer aeternus is Jonny, a child who seems to have come out of the pencil of a mangaka, whose an atomical morphology is typical of a growing individual, with a tiny body and a hypertrophic head. Jonny is the artist's infantilized stand-in, the puberty avatar, the inner ghost, the aesthetic conformation of an unconscious projection, but it is also, by extension, a signal, a symbol that indicates anabsence, that underlines the vulnus, the wound, the gash that tears the existence of the adapted and uniformed man. Motta uses Jonny as a warning to himself and others, but also as an empirical demonstration that healing, everyone's healing, is possible through the rediscovery and recovery of this imperishable entity that frees us from time and senescence. In GAMEOVER play again? the enthusiasm is encoded in the form of the videogame metaphor. The condition of the player, estranged from everyday reality, is represented through the image of Jonny's fluctuation. But for Giovanni Motta the videogame is - like toys, food and consumer goods - only a symbol. What counts is the mood of the player, that feeling of "divine invasion" that accompanies the moments of euphoria and amazement of childhood, an emotional heritage that seems destined to fade in time. ​ Curated by Ivan Quaroni / Cherryup / Ricc

Through the artist's skilful control and combination of images, their skillful 'feeling' in the various dimensions and shifts of form gives the works sensitive details and an air of rebellion against the popular. These works are essentially depictions of scenes from life that do not constitute any realistic and are always playful, bright, and full of amusing irony. In contrast to the traditional concept of painting, the artist does not wish to give vent to all his emotions, but rather to paint 'what I see' in and spontaneous manner.Painting has existed for over 30,000 years in human history and it can be considered as a private note that can be made public. The paintings on display now visualise the author's psychological world, and the artist, in their sincerity and purity, allows the viewer to truly experience the same experience as he did at the time of creation.
