Having close relationship with the gallery, we decide to put together an exhibition for these three artists. There is no absolute connection between those three artists.
Yifeng Tan’s works are occupied by humans or human-alike animals. They are either trying to grab apples or floating in the air in a giant bowl, where they have to crowd with each other. The dislocation can be caused by the conflict between the explosion of urbanisation and the deterioration of natural landscape. At the end, neither could human beings nor animals find their own position in which they used to belong to.
Pei Pei He’s works explore the hustle and bustle of the city. Each individual picture of the sequence freezes the particular time of the urban landscape. It seems like the continuity of a film that tells the story of urban crowd from different angles. The stroke used by the artist is similar to a separated pixel unit. Hundreds and millions of these pixels add together and eventually create a continuing scene. Numerous lines show the accomplished drawing skills of the artists.
Helen Geier’s works strongly feature by Australian landscape and western spatial construction. Her adoption of Asian linear approach of perspective is highly visible. The combination of these two methods reverses the traditional way of pictorial effect of perspective and creates a new form of aesthetic experience.
Interestingly, although these three artists have different cultural and education background, they all use the same medium – paper – to produce their works.
