Ian Woo:How I Forgot to be Happy |

Published: May 07 2013 |
This exhibition will present approximately 10 selected paintings from Ian Woo's recent works from 2012 to 2013. The line up of works emphasizes the materiality of paint and its shifting and transitioning attribution to form and space. This exhibition also introduces some new approaches in Woo's colour pallet where a return to the exploration of black and grey seen in his early works are employed. To him, the use of black as tone fluctuates between solidity and deep void, depending on the subject placed against it. This is evident in the painting "They Came In From The Sides", where the relation to "motion" is implied within a complete pictorial perimeter, just like how the frame functions in films and animated comic panel. In this painting, the edges of the pictorial plane encourage extended imaginary images beyond the border. In the situation of the advent of the "black frame", the shifting frame strengthens the reaction of contents to the edges of the picture plane. This piece not merely incorporates Woo's elements and marks in other works, but also plays an essential role in unfolding a new page of the ongoing axis of his paintings.
