On 15th October, an exhibition featuring new works by Bob Yudhita Agung, Sin SIn Man and S. Teddy Darmawan opened at Sin Sin Fine Art. We are blessed with the presence of Bob and Teddy who flew all the way from Indonesia to be with us that night. 

The performance "Friendship"  by Indonesian Artist Yustoni Volunteero and Hong Kong Musician Edmund Leung's handpan has inspired audiences with the dynamic interaction - a fun reminder on how we support, inspire and respect each other despite the many difficult entanglements we might face from time to time throughout our friendships. That together, we become better persons, better teams, better members of societies.

Thank you for joining us for the night. Click more to see how SURVIVORS meet the Survivors!

SURVIVORS

Artists: Bob Yudhita Agung, Sin Sin Man, S. Teddy Darmawan

Exhibition Duration: 15 October –21 November 2015

Venue: 52 & 54 Sai Street, Central, Hong Kong

Sin Sin Fine Art is pleased to present SURVIVORS, an exhibition featuring new works by Hong Kong artist Sin Sin Man and Indonesian artists Bob Yudhita Agung and S. Teddy Darmawan. These artists of different backgrounds are unified by their affinity to a free and spontaneous mode of expression, and by how each of them, in their different paths, have survived a major challenge in their lives.

Recently, the three of them have spent a very intense time working together in Bali. They got to know each other even better, and their dynamics fueling each other’s creative sparks, resulting in the powerful artworks shown in this exhibition.

Survivors will serve as the first public event to be held in the new Studio in Wong Chuk Hang. We are extremely excited to embark upon a new chapter with you all.

LOUIS CANE - Window of The Light

Resin paint on wire gauze

45.5×53.5 cm

2006

Exhibition Duration: 26 November – 31 December 2015

Venue:  Sin Sin Fine Art, 52 Sai Street, Central

Louis CANE, who has been a leading figure in French contemporary art since joining the artistic movement “Support/Surface” movement in France in the late 1960s. This is the first solo exhibition introducing his recent works in Hong Kong at Sin Sin Fine Art, entitled “Window of The Light”.

Coloring is one inevitable and essential element of Louis Cane’s works. By airing and stretching, he manipulates the color’s outlines and expressions as much as possible so as to approach the ‘irrationality’ created by the delight of colors. He says to have found “the way to discover colors hidden in the air” and his latest works are more color-conscious with discreet supports such as aluminum and fiberglass

There is this idea of having two lives in one human body in Tibetan tradition. This is a transformation we all have the choice to go through. By cultivating awareness and self-knowledge, we can undo our internal karmic bondages and become a new person who has more love and wisdom. Such inner change can be so profound that we can become a totally new person by leaving many of our old habits behind.  The talk with end with Tsok, a Tantric Buddhist feast ceremony and Newar Vajra dance offered by LiAnne Takeuchi Hunt.

Anam Thubten grew up in Tibet and at an early age began to practice in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the founder and spiritual advisor of Dharmata Foundation, teaching widely in the U.S. and occasionally abroad. He is also the author of The Magic of Awareness and No Self, No Problem. Through the essential wisdom of Buddhism and his personal experience on the spiritual path, Anam Thubten brings alive the timeless teachings and invites everyone to participate.

Casualties of War

Artist: S. Teddy Darmawan

Exhibition Duration: 27 October – 9 November 2015

Venue: Nadi Gallery, JI. Kembang Indah III Blok G3 no. 4-5 Puri Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia

S. Teddy Darmawan walks his own path in his own world, carving out his own trail in the art world. When facing with the wider outer world with its harsh realities, he was shocked by the seemingly pointless cruelty of wars. "… wars are endless production of violence." 

The way he sees it, wars are man-made disasters, rotten catastrophies which should be able to be avoided, unlike natural disasters - earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruptions -  in which human beings have no control of. 

For Teddy, wars are the most uncreative creation of man. Creativity are constructive, whhile wars are destructive to the core of humanity.
