SURFACE TENSION Surface Tension
28th February - 21st March 2013
The Cat Street Gallery is proud to announce its forthcoming group exhibition, 'SURFACE TENSION' , opening in Hong Kong at The Space on 28 February 2013. As the first of it's three major group shows this year, the gallery will showcase this unique gathering of five artists who hail from all over the world, and whose works cross many media, each responding to the curatorial theme of the exhibition's title.
SURFACE TENSION will present over 40 works - many of which have been made specially for the show - tied together in different and critically engaging ways. Common threads weave between the different pieces, sometimes in execution - seen in physical characteristics and methods used such as paint on canvas, or the appropriation of certain imagery such as Japanese manga; sometimes in concept, expression and response to his or her environment - where the influence of the cities in which he or she lives palpably permeates the subject of the work; sometimes in challenges faced and tension felt - as the role of the artist today changes and morphs in the bright light of art market expectations and the shadows of what has come before.
