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!

錨點 1 Vickie Vainionpää b.1992 Vickie Vainionpää’s practice considers the impact of technology on the process of painting and investigates the relationship between natural forces and digital processes. In her ongoing Soft Body Dynamics series, twisting, tubular forms are systematically created using generative 3D modelling software. The software randomly generates a set number of splines per day, from which the artist selects to create final compositions which are painted by hand using oil on linen. By embracing new digital means of reading space and content, the works draw attention to the ever-changing relationship between the human body and digital technology.

錨點 1 Astrid Styma b.1988 Astrid Styma creates highly realistic still lives, portraits and sculptural interventions that span references between painting techniques of renaissance Neo-Realism, Surrealism and Post-Digital works of the 21st Century. Figures which are often isolated from any detailed references are arranged in front of gently illuminated backgrounds that remind of contemporary and digital surfaces in pastel-shaded tones. Through the repeated depiction of the same motifs, the works read as metaphors for complex interpersonal constellations. And with subtle references to architectural impossibilities, Styma invites us into trustworthy worlds of images that reveal paradoxes and open up possible trapdoors of perception.

GIOVANNI MOTTA - 「 GAME OVER play again？」 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 fibreglass 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 anatomical 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 an absence, 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 GAME OVER play again? the enthusiasmós 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.
