While Wensen Qi’s lacquer works is an application and practice of Chinese bodiless lacquer technique, creating an object as an extension of the space & time of his life.

Rhythms
Artists: Zulkarnaini
Opening Reception: 21 September 2017 | 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Exhibition duration: 21 September – 10 November 2017
Venue: Sin Sin Fine Art, 52 Sai Street, Central, Hong Kong

Sin Sin Fine Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of emerging Indonesian Artist Zulkarnaini “Rhythms” from 21 September – 10 November 2017.  He is seeking to create aesthetic narrative with simplicity through a disciplined practice of drawing lines. 

Zulkarnaini expresses himself with paint on carpets. Straight lines represent calmness and balance, curves relate to movements; other shapes evoke feelings of floating and flying. In his recent research in lines, the expansion yields a wonderful lesson in scale, creating the illusion of maximising space.

The Heart Sutra is the most profound text in the Buddhist tradition.  People have been chanting it in many languages throughout history and many became awakened from contemplating this sutra.  It expresses the wisdom of great emptiness that can free us from the mental prison of concepts and let us drink the nectar of joy and peace.  Anam Thubten will give a teaching on the Heart Sutra and will invite everyone to chant it together.
 
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 currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.  He is also the author of The Magic of Awareness, No Self, No Problem, and Embracing Each Moment. Through his personal experience on the spiritual path, Anam Thubten brings alive the timeless teachings of the Buddhist tradition and invites everyone to participate.

Obscure
Artist: Andy Dewantoro and Eddi Prabandono
Exhibition Duration: 29 July – 20 August 2017
Venue: Galeri Salihara, Jakarta, Indonesia

The works in Obscure describes ambiguity and incompleteness. There are works that may seem (or be considered) complete, but which for the artist are only the beginning. This condition repeats without end.

Andy Dewantoro and Eddi Prabandono are two Indonesian artists with great international reputation. They are conceptually similar, but they do differ in their choice of medium.

Andy Dewantoro continues to develop new painting forms on large-format canvases. This time, he exhibits paintings of quite old buildings that serve to mark the eternal movement of time and space.

Meanwhile Eddi Prabandono—as seen in his most recent works—seems to create more installation works, especially those that show the fast-paced changes occurring in society.

To discuss the artists part of Sakato Art Community is impossible without discussing Minangkabau culture; a uniqute culture that in the midst of cultures globally. This uniqueness is derived from the Minangkabau’s matrilineal system of inheritance and matriarchal culture that at the same time, is also influenced by the Minangkabau embrace of Islam, a patriarchal religion. Even those artists who have chosen to live in Yogyakarta, in the midst of Javanese culture, cannot remove themselves from the rails of Minangkabau life.
