Mode Change by Jeremy Sharma is on now at Galerie Michael Janssen Singapore till the 13th of June 2014.
Two types of works are shown here.
1. Grey/Green monochromatic painting with different areas of working on the paint to give different visual aspects much like a visual field abstract. But conceptually it was more about capturing time in dripping paint.
2. Polyurethane/ High density Polystrene Foam (blue or white) cut by industrial methods, to show contours/ relief in a 3-D fashion. (Part of the Terra Sensa series, of which he also showed at Art Stage Singapore 2014 and the Singapore Biennale 2013). Conceptually it's about representing the Electromagnetic pulses of dying stars.
The two styles of paintings are meant to contradict each other for the observer to switch between the two modes.Hence, this exhibition is meant to be more conceptual where the viewer observes the different modes of painting and how art is sculptural, painting or a mix of both and the use of technology in art. If you read other interviews and write-ups on the net about his works, you will realise Jeremy Sharma though more of a painter wants to shift towards conceptual art works and he wants to say something with his art rather then have the focus of entertaining.
Good write up here in the Business times, his thought/statements about his works and what he wants to achieve with his works are rather interesting.
You should go and catch the show; two bodies of works shown together.
Points for collectors: Buy if you like it. Personally a bit disappointed with the works though people are raving about the works.
Jeremy Sharma will also be showing a few works at Ipreciation at the end of May as part of the group exhibition with Milenko Prvacki. Hopefully there will be some nicer works there. I am rooting for Jeremy Sharma.
