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.

About us GALLERY FUNC is a contemporary art gallery established in Shanghai since 2021. The space was located in a garden villa on Fumin Road in Jing'an District and relocated in a Carmel Court designed by the renowned French architect Alexandre Léonard in 1932. 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. The prerequisite of "bonding" is "connection". 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 Ania Hobbson b.1990 ​ Ania Hobson is a British artist born in 1990, Ania has a degree in Fine Art and studied at the Prince's School of Painting in London and portraiture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. Her portraiture works are inspired by artists like Alice Neel and Kerry James Marshall. Her architectural portraits use subtle, complementary colors to create refined, dignified pictures of her close female friends and family members. ​ Artist Talk: ​ Being a painter is not a decision I chose, it’s something that you can’t escape. From young being creative was something that was already running through the family, we watched and would spend our time drawing at the dinner table, it was always there but never pushed on us...So, growing up it’s also been engrained in me and will always be part of me. ​ All my work is a timeline of figures and exploring the emotions that we go through. My painting is just another form of expressing language sometimes subconsciously painting in my own anxieties. I work with sketches first which are usually from my imagination or memory, I feel this is a good way of creating a non-anatomically correct view on the human form, I then transfer these drawings straight onto canvas before painting. I work to a medium / large scale with oil paints and impasto. ​ ​ I want the audience to be able to relate and feel a familiarity to my painting, something that they can recognize within themselves building that connection between them and my painting. My painting is all about people reading, emotions, vital, mark making, composing and psychology. ​ I’m so pleased to be exhibiting in this exhibition, it’s my first time exhibiting in Shanghai, along with some great artists too!

These works vividly present the daily psychological states and rituals of life that are easily overlooked by us. The artists are concerned with the current situation of self-fragmentation in the information society, and they try to explore the real existence through painting. ​ The artists are both participants and spectators in their own lives. They watch the human life force unfold in the wider context and then, from their own selves, search for the port of balance between real life and imagination, which is the port of their artworks. They use their individual subjects as the base for their conceptual and pictorial structures, and use skilled techniques to embellish the complex expressions of their subjects, effectively and directly conveying their respective languages. ​ The realistic mood of the work is both familiar and new to the viewer, and the artist is placing the viewer in the real and fantastical world created by the painting itself, making the viewing of the painting more like reading some amazing narratives. It is as if something important has been snatched from this fictional world based on reality, leaving a big hole for us all to jump into and fill. ​ All of the works discuss the wonders of human existence as a living creature. The uncertainty of life itself is artfully displayed in each work. The sense of confusion about the future and the vibrant, throbbing energy of adolescence come crashing down on the dull and stagnant psychological world that drives adults. These works here become a spiritual stimulus for us, awakening our dormant senses.
