A Collaboration with WAREHOUSE gallery Artist: Jade Kim Curator: Joey Chan Jul 29 - Aug 27 2022 The Blooming Moment We are delighted to collaborate with WAREHOUSE gallery to present the work of Jade Kim as WAREHOUSE gallery’s first exhibition in Shanghai. The artist has always been involved in the creative field, and after being in exhibition planning industry for a decade, Jade decided to pursue the expression of his true passion through paintings and sculptures. “MIN” , the character that is inspired by his beloved wife, is the manifestation and recreation of his story, a special gift to her. She sends a rebellious yet quiet vibe, altogether with a sense of peacefulness. The perseverance yet tender characteristics of a mature woman can be interpreted as the scream for current difficulties in our society. Just as Jade Kim says, “I wanted to remind myself by looking at my paintings [of] what we [had] lost and what we had to protect.’ INSTALLATION VIEWS WORKS ARTIST 17(sRGB).jpg Jade Kim Jade Kim (b.1981, Korea), a visual artist.

"MIN" has dreamy eyes, child-like shape and demeanour, giving people a sense of innocence. She is often portrayed as a character representing "protection" and "love". Kim's work exudes a calmness vibe and is intended to resonate with the viewer.

22 Sep - 28 Oct, 2023 Entropy and Hidden Force Tianshu Zhang INSTALLATION VIEWS WORKS ARTISTS The theme of the exhibition focuses on the relationship between solid form and continuous dynamics between painting and consciousness. Entropy is compared to the arrow of time, an eternal movement, and hidden force is an unpredictable infinite combination that exists in a single form and in the same field. The night is dropping, and the moon in the dark blue fog is casting its gaze equally on each nest. This is not an exotic land that you break into while escaping reality. It is the gravel buried in the soil of the ancient city. Hunting among the huge choices, the image is peeled off from the undefined shell, after the solid state, it starts to rebuilding within the vortex and the deriving from the waves. The distant past is essentially inaccessible to us. The details between the traces of oil and pastel are imagined as corresponding carriers, and the images created by the artist flow into the depths of our own time and conscious through our gaze. Faced with such a combination and arrangement of works in the space, it is difficult for us to ignore the narrative energy of the images, or in other words, they are crossing the canvas and our bodies while being embodied. Rather than saying that they are evidence of illusion, it is better to say that what the artist is trying to create is the fleeting golden light of the holy fire outside the city wall. The brushstrokes sliding between the media determine the reproduced image, leaving us like flames and leaving us. Together, we move to the next scene in our consciousness. The sequence of pictures contains a structure from dark to light, volume and visual interweaving and interpenetration. The process of creating images that are not controlled by the target consciousness is to constantly explore aspects of oneself in media and images, and the feelings triggered when viewing the works also come from this. “I will spend my whole life trying to understand the operation of memory. Memory is not the opposite of forgetting, but the inner connection of forgetting.” (Chris Marker, Sans Soleil) Under this mechanism, the relationship between the hand and the canvas, inner contradictions and desires merge into the same space. What is urgently needed is the right to tamper with the prophecy. The artist fixes the unfixable things and turns the abandonment into a still life falling into the dust. No more words are wasted describing the storm, the hunter will keep such things to themselves, and the best part of it is the close juxtaposition of survival and disappearance and the unique experience of passing perpendicular to it.

INTERVIEW Peter Jeppson On the hunt for complex emotions @ArtMaze Magazine 10 January 2018 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, complex with his irresistibly curious characters. Bubbling with texture and vivid emotions, Jeppson's creatures put a new, strange twist on cartoons - as they are for 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 creased not only two- dimensionally in paint, but are also brought into the third dimension in his densely layered and brilliantly peculiar sculpture. 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. Read More WORK OVERVIEW EXHIBITIONS ARTICLES

6 Nov - 16 Dec, 2023 Children of the World Xiaoguo Chen INSTALLATION VIEWS WORKS ARTISTS “Children of the World” is the title Chen Xiaoguo gave to his project to be realized at Gallery Func, the film of the same title, Söhne und Töchter der Welt (1941), directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck. According to Wikipedia, the Austrian director-couple is said to have emigrated to Shanghai to work with Chinese director Fei Mu. The artist liked the illusion of a loving family that the title of this unpopular film created for the exiles during wartime. The constant state of relocation brings Chen Xiaoguo characters, events, and situations that he needs to face at every stage of art making. This year, he decided to leave Beijing, where he had suffered many studio demolitions, and moved to Shanghai. In “Children of the World”, we can find the artist's new friends, the protagonists of social news, and self-portraits with various degrees of rewriting. A series of familiar or anonymous portraits mark the moments of his gradual integration into the social life of Shanghai. The artist draws on the authorship in naming his paintings to redefine Nobel Prize winner as Silver Ball and Crazy Horse actress as Madonna, both of them have been debated by netizens. Chen Xiaoguo achieves a reversal: he intentionally paints ordinary people, including himself, as if they were celebrities, while contributors from different fields naturally reveal themselves as ordinary people in his paintings. If being misunderstood is the norm or even a psalm, Chen Xiaoguo would rather have a self-portrait appear to be an athlete from a foreign land, a modern female figure, or a male criminal. The artist creates confusion for the viewer through easily accessible reference images and bright brushstrokes that make it difficult to approach the truth, with misleading aesthetics as well as ambiguous positions. When the subject of the painting cannot be recognized at first glance, and the act of viewing takes place somewhere else unexpectedly, we can look for something we might relate to other people's experiences. Chen Xiaoguo was born in Hubei, China. Currently he works and lives in Shanghai. Graduated from Hubei Academy of Fine Arts with a Bachelor’s degree in Sculpture and a Master’s degree in Experimental Art at Central Academy of Fine Arts, China. Chen Xiaoguo sees painting as an action, a rumination on images nowadays. For him, the images people receive in everyday life are the collusion of media and image producers. He captures and exposes this mechanism with his paintings. With the intention of creating an atlas of human beings without borders, He selects images from the Internet and his life around. By giving the images bright and ambiguous tones, he makes the paintings visually equal to the seductive nature of the gaze.
