Join us on a journey to understand how lockdown enabled a new type of creativity! KLIP ART & ARTA are excited to present their first group exhibition #STOPGAP2020 featuring 11 established and emerging artists from Central Europe and Hong Kong. The exhibition is part of the well established and annual deTOUR Festival organized by PMQ Hong Kong and sponsored by Create Hong Kong of the Government of the HKSAR between 27th November and 6th December. #STOPGAP2020 is asking the question of how artists from different parts of the world have used their time in lockdown or isolation, to create new artistic works, in response to their individual pandemic experience and the “new normal” of 2020. The exhibition presents pieces that relate to issues of the modern world, having a global and human dimension. The exhibition presents various creative personalities, mediums and forms such as oil and acrylic paintings, collages made of sustainable materials, series of photographs, and last but not least detailed drawings with ink and pencil. #STOPGAP2020 is a celebration of creativity that resulted from a completely new reality in which we all found ourselves in, regardless of the place. A specially curated program of talks, workshops and events with artists present will be held for the duration of the exhibition, to provide meaningful encounters and access points aimed at different audiences.

We are thrilled that Sim Chan is one of 11 artists taking part in the #stopgap2020 exhibition. This video showcases his process, inspiration, and technique he used for the newsiest artworks in 2020, during the lockdown. About the Artist: Sim Chan has demonstrated distinctive styles of contemporary paintings that document his perception of the surrounding world. Chan, born and raised in Hong Kong spends most of his time at his studio in the Fotan area, depicting the local cityscape and the urban architecture, Sim Chan’s work expresses his observation and tactile sense of his city. At the show, Chan presents his TwinklingCity Series which showcases his very innovative technique that integrates contemporary oil paintings with new technologies and science. After many months of research, studies, and tests on colors and lights, Sim has created artworks that react to LED lights behind the canvas and spontaneously reveal a hidden side of the painting whenever the ambient light is switched off. To showcase the unique artworks you are invited to a room designed especially for this occasion.

Zuzanna Lenartowicz-Malcher is one of 11 artists taking part in the #stopgap2020 exhibition. And this video showcases how she lives and creates new artworks during the lockdown in Poland. About the artist: Zuzanna portrays nature and animals which drive her to explore new horizons, and as such, she said “We (people) have an endemic desire to be close to nature and a curiosity about the world that pushes us in search of the unknown. In search of authenticity.” Deeply rooted in many cultures and for centuries, we have been trying to explore the nature surrounding us and try to tame, subdue, and restrain it. Toads turning into princes, black cats bringing bad luck, white rabbits appearing from a hat, rats announcing plague, bats, vampires, and snakes symbolizing evil powers... In Zuzanna’s works, each animal’s name is hand-written in gothic letters used in the 11th century that the artist has been studying for many years.

Mateusz Piestrak is one of 11 artists taking part in the #stopgap2020 exhibition. And this video showcases how his routine has changed in 2020, how lockdown has changed the way he creates art and lives in Poland. Piestrak spent his 2020 in Poland, where he has been working on a new series of paintings showcasing what we all miss this year - physical relationships. His paintings are often designed as multi-layered, ambiguous puzzles that play with the viewer's perception and imagination.Mateusz Piestrak showcases the series of work which he created during the lockdown, in solitude, observing his own emotions, thoughts, and intuitions. Piestrak attempts to juxtapose or mix up different orders: history and fantasy, archive and creation, grotesque and horror to find an ambiguous, undecidable puzzle - stimulating the imagination and emotions rather than easily explainable with words.Piestrak's love for photography and filmmaking gave him an idea of creating the innovative technique that he uses for all his abstract acrylic paintings. The technique incorporates the developing-photo-film-like process with his great attention to even the smallest detail on canvas.

Francesco Lietti is one of 11 artists taking part in the #stopgap2020 exhibition. And this video showcases how his routine has changed in 2020, how lockdown has changed the way he creates art and lives in Hong Kong. About the artist: Francesco Lietti has been living in Hong Kong since early 2006 and his love of this vibrant, eclectic city is immediately apparent in his works. Using strong blocks of paint to represent the buildings, Lietti also includes smaller patches of textured color, which dance across the cityscape, giving it that dream-like, ephemeral quality. The artist works in acrylic and oils on canvas and also adds collage to give his paintings more texture and depth. He then finishes his pieces with a thick, glossy resin, further enhancing the brightness of the colors. http://francescolietti.com/home IG: francescolietti Video Credit: Francesco Lietti About the exhibition: KLIP ART & ARTA are excited to present their first group exhibition #STOPGAP2020 featuring 11 established and emerging artists from Central Europe and Hong Kong.

Nick Brandt's new project, "Inherit the Dust" is more relevant than ever before. Wildfires, tornadoes, and dangerous viruses are the top news of 2019 and 2020, and it won't change anytime soon. In a series of photographic panoramas shot in East Africa, celebrated photographer Nick Brandt records the impact of men in places where animals used to roam, but no longer do. Pollution and urban encroachment is the cause of ever decreasing habitat for the natural world and loss of biodiversity. It is time to talk about it, and, more importantly, it is time to do something about it now. Sarah Greene with Blue Lotus Gallery in Hong Kong, despite the coronavirus and the protests, chose to proceed with an exhibition INHERIT THE DUST by NICK BRANDT to reveal the tremendous danger hanging above Hong Kong. Please watch the video and share it with others if you also think it is important to do something about it now.

A documentary about Bosco Sodi’s residency project and his first solo exhibition in 2020 at Axel Vervoordt Gallery in Hong Kong. You will hear a chat about the process, what he loves the most in his work and what’s next in 2020. Bosco Sodi is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale paintings. Sodi has discovered an emotive power within the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings. Sodi’s influences range from l’art informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of his native heritage.
