World Art Media Presents Ethereal States of Mind at the NY Arts Space Beijing.
NY Art Beijing is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by Francisco Bustamante Gubbins, Pierre St-Jacques, Leah Oates, Bryce Hudson and Peter Mathias from October 1 to 30, 2008.
NY Art Beijing exhibition space will present a collection of work by artists, including our current artists in residence Francisco Bustamante Gubbins, Bryce Hudson, Pierre St-Jacques, and Leah Oates. Each intuitive artist presents an ethereal state of mind in this collection of work and work-in-progress.
Francisco Bustamante Gubbins employs state-of-the-art technologies within his work that are distinguished by their precision and direct simplicity. His art deals largely with the central themes of human consciousness and experience—birth, death, love, emotion and a kind of humanist spirituality. Pierre St-Jacques work is a concerned with perception, and the manner in which society constructs ones world. This consideration generates work that explores, on the one hand, the physical structures that we create to organize our world, and on the other hand, the psychological structures that we imagine in order understand and navigate. New Zealander Peter Mathias' work also asks us to consider our roles as individuals and how our role or sense of self can be measured against the sometimes-overwhelming complexities of society. However, adding a surrealist aesthetic Mathias balances the familiar and the unknown, using a juxtaposition of objects within contexts that are real yet unreal. Impossible shapes and forms suspended above realistic landscapes. The work of Leah Oates often exhibits a beautiful painterly quality, her use of ultra-slow shutter-speed photography encourages the viewer to sink into to the image and connect deeply to the meanings contained within it. This proverbial aspect of her work makes it unusually accessible within a contemporary art context. Bryce Hudson's can be seen as a combination of media-paintings and mixed media photo-based prints. At the very core of his work are social issues surrounding race, class, stereotypes and recently identity, femininity, and decoration in relation to human experience in contemporary society.
Each of the artists work responds to issues surrounding memory and communication. It both reveals the ritual of a commonplace event and highlights an emotional realization of the passing of time through the generations. The exhibition offers the viewer a breathing space to consider the individual as self and as other. The aim is to encourage empathy, for the viewers to consider their own musings and time of reflection. These aspects of the works present a possible point of transference for intellectual and emotive concerns to develop between the relationship of the work and the observer of the work. The work offers a time to reflect upon the self in an active sense and to consider the ramifications of this within the broader context of self, society and other.
Artist Zhu Wei will also be showing his work at the NY Arts Beijing Space from October 1-30.
