New Sensibilities in Sculpture and Painting

The above exhibition is held at Yeo WorkShop at Gillmann Barracks from the 31st May 2014 till 27th July 2014.

The exhibitions features 4 artists

1. Atsushi Koyama - He presented a series of paintings based on this MetaMachine/ Man Machine series. Basically machine parts or gears painted in multicolour with human hands/parts juxtaposed against it. Interesting; supposed to show his training (BSc) in maths and Art (BFA oil painting).

2. Haruki Kogawa - Painted brilliant works of abstract. Love the colour palette,depth, impact, rhythm, sequence and the overall feel of the painting. Great abstract painter.

3. Taisuke Mohri - Another brilliant artist. The works he presented are pencil on paper with overlay of cracked glass to go with the drawing. Very photorealistic. If you didn't inspect it closely, you would just think that it's another black and white photo.

4. Zul Mahmod - Presented a sound installation which I think is called No Substance (first phase). Made up of stuff you get from a chemistry lab;funnels, pipettes, burette stands, test tubes and these are set up as percussion instruments which are set off by electromagnets against springs and controlled by a central computer/processor. The music is more rhythmic then a tonal type of production. Interesting the way he does it. But the work doesn't look conservable, so it's useful for now i.e. a company buying it for use now. Otherwise only for the serious collector who will be willing to pay a good amount in maintenance and restoration. But loads of effort and the end result is definitely aesthetically pleasing.

Points for Collectors: All four brilliant artists. Go and check it out. No lousy pieces of art here. Can definitely buy Haruki Kogawa, Taisuke Mohri and Zul Mahmod's work.
