Rick Lewis Solo Exhibition: Wind Against Tide

Exhibition duration: 22 November - 31 December

We had a very successful opening for the Rick Lewis “Wind Against Tide” Solo Exhibition on 22 November. Rick Lewis was preparing for his solo exhibition while super storm Sandy caused high winds in US. The theme of the exhibition “Wind Against Tide” matches the timing well with the artworks portray Lewis thought on nature.

The experimental series Lewis attracts people with its silvery colour, while it actually portrays his thoughts towards nature. Lewis sets the absorptive qualities of brown pigment and earth against the mercurial qualities of silver. Brown comes through silver, at times like a bloom of tarnish, at other times with the grit and tooth of soil. Through an editorial process of layering and scraping back paint, soil, and loose pigment, Lewis’s paintings are palimpsests, or memory records. Interactions between paint layers present the movements of natural elements, like sand and water at the tide’s edge.

It is our pleasure to announce that, Rick Lewis "Wind Against Tide" Solo Exhibition is one of the highlights of "Reach for the HeART", a charity program organized by Sin Sin Fine Art together with "Art in Hospital" organization - in which 10% of the proceedings from Rick Lewis' exhibition will go to this program. The show will continue until 31 December, we look forward to seeing you.


 
 
 

Art as Christmas Gift

Campaign Duation: 1 December 2012 - 10 January 2013

Have you ever thought of buying Art as Christmas Gift? Picking an unique art piece for your beloved, and at the same time turning him or her into an art collector!

Sin Sin Fine Art is glad to present artworks of French artist Hervé Maury in this coming Christmas. Animals created by Maury are all with curious eyes, amazed at what they see, and interacting with the viewers. The rich complexity of materials with bright colours demonstrates the artworks with various textures.

Working with unusual textures has also been an interest to Hervé. “The very rich complexity of materials such as a mix of sands, marble powders, ochres and miscellaneous minerals, together with Indian ink and sometimes bright colours provide the animals and their backgrounds with all their substance.” These small-size artworks of Maury have always considered as best picks for gift!

Welcome to explore your art collection journey in Sin Sin Fine Art!

Qiju Qilin Solo Exhibition

We were pleased to present a special solo exhibition of Tibetan artist Qiju Qilin in November; it was our honor to have Qiju flying from Tibet to attend the opening reception of the show. With his traditional ethnic costume, Qiju shared with us his most memorable experience in the Tibetan Plateau of his motherland where he was raised.

Qiju Qilin crossed paths with Sin Sin Fine Art by way of Wong How Man, the Founder and President of the Hong Kong based China Exploration and Research Society (CERS). Wong How Man met Qiju back in 1981 when he was a journalist for the National Geographic covering China and they became best friends ever since. With How Man's introduction, we were glad to have held the first solo exhibition for Qiju, and thank everyone for coming.

“Soul Cleansing” Group Exhibition in January

Opening Reception: 18 January 2013

Exhibition Duration: 18 January - 28 February 2013

Sin Sin Fine Art proudly presents a group exhibition to start the new year of 2013, featuring works by multi-cultural artists: Alice Kok, Hiromi Miyakita, Lie Fhung, Maria Lobo, Sun Guangyi and Wong Wing Tong - with sound and movement opening performance art by Akio Suzuki and Hiromi Miyakita. The exhibition will be held from the 18 January to 28 February 2013.

Since ancient times in Chinese tradition, the start of a new year has always been a very important event. To welcome the new year, families would clean their house to get rid of evil spirits and ceremonies are performed - usually involving sound and musical elements along with movements or dance. Sin Sin sees this time as ‘soul cleansing’ time, when we should take this opportunity to cleanse our mind, body and soul.

“Soul Cleansing” group exhibition will be opened with a duet of unique, fresh, vibrant and graceful performance by a master Japanese sound artist, Akio Suzuki and an emerging choreographer/dancer, Hiromi Miyakita. Akio Suzuki finds and makes music from just about anything he comes across, and the results always ignite sense of wonders in his audience. In dancing and choreographing, Hiromi Miyakita emphasizes not only the body but also the place surrounding the performance. On the basis of the most fundamental human movements related to space such as sitting, standing and walking, she creates delicate yet bold movements capturing sensitively the surrounding light, sound, air and landscape. Akio Suzuki and Hiromi Miyakita's presence is made possible by Around sound art festival and retreat 2013.

The show is visually diversed ranging from drawings to paintings, from ink to acrylic, from paper to canvas to wood, from porcelain to video and installation, all the artworks featured in the “Soul Cleansing” share an inner inter-connectedness at their core beings: each of the work reflects an introspective and meditative spirit. Together they offer a rich, inspiring selection to ponder upon.
