Gallery EXIT is pleased to present After Agnes, a group
exhibition featuring the new works of KONG Chun Hei, Sarah LAI, Cam Wong and
Jasmine Woon-lam WONG. In their own practice, they continue the quest of Agnes
Martin, who dealt with the the relationship between the surface and the real and
the spiritual dimension of
abstraction.
"My paintings are not about what
is seen.
They are about what is known
forever in the
mind."
~ Agnes
Martin
Agnes Martin approached
non-objectivity and geometric abstraction not as a kind of formalism, but as a
means of structuring philosophical, linguistic, and transcendental ideas. Her
meditative grid drawings retained small flaws and unmistakable traces of the
artist's hand, yet they can be seen as representing a mental space that strives
towards an impossible perfection. This approach enables the viewer to become
imperceptibly aware of the existence of the unknowable and representable, of the
wanderings of the mind - the abstract as lingua lingering between the
real and the
ideal.
On a store sign lightbox, Kong
repeated his signature until a uniform surface appeared. Lai studied the surface
of the Moon through numerous NASA images and synthesized them. Cam Wong captured
the beam of sunlight through her window at different times. In her large scale
cellotape works, Jasmine Wong traces the small steps between the beginning and
the
end.
The artists will be present at
the opening
reception.

"這些畫並非言所見，乃言已知之事。"
~ 艾格尼絲 .
馬丁
(
字譯：我的畫不是關於所能看見的。它們是關於在心里永遠已知的。)
艾格尼絲 . 馬丁不把非具象和幾何抽象當作一種形式主義來看待，而是一種可以建構哲學思維，語言，和先驗思想的手段。她沉思般的格圖紙繪畫，雖然脫離不了藝術家手繪時的小瑕疵痕跡，但它們可以被視為代表一個心理空間，朝向那不可能實現的完美。
