Youri Leroux’s Solo Exhibition

Opening Reception: 9th October 2012

Exhibition Duration:  9th October – 6th November 2012

Sin Sin Fine Art is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of French artist Youri Leroux with the gallery.

Youri Leroux is no stranger to Sin Sin Fine Art and our appreciative audiences. His first solo exhibition with the gallery dates back to the May of 2004. In the past eight years, we have hosted two solo exhibitions for him and three group exhibitions where he collaborated with other artist in presenting their works. During the process, he and his paintings traveled, evolved, and matured. If you still remember from our past exhibitions, his works used to focus on the curves of the female body and the plumpness, sensuality, shapes and shadows that it emanates. Now the female in the picture is gone, whereas the femininity quietly extends.  Releasing from the bondages of shape, he heaps unconventional materials and paints, brushing and scratching them in order to reach the firstly applied material. Thereupon, a toughing and moving kind of “small writing” is born from his new abstract paintings.

Youri Leroux was born and raised in the North of France, a region whose landscapes have seduced many artists. His first exhibition was held at Le Masquere (France) with fifteen other artists, and now his works appear in Art-London (United Kingdom), SOFA-New York (U.S.A), Art Metz (Metz) and etc. Right up to today, his works have been centering on the four main themes of eroticism, travel, literature and writing.

Sin Sin was invited to visit the wonderful country of Liechtenstein where works of Indonesian artists were shown for its public for the first time in history. Now let's take a tour with Sin Sin and lift the veil of Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein Oh Liechtenstein

First of all, I feel very honored to be invited to Liechtenstein to share my love of Indonesian art with Liechtenstein people. It was my first time to visit the country, and I have to say that Liechtenstein is a wonderful country with beautiful nature and friendly, artistic people. I found the government to be very supportive to art and their artists, which is evident in the existence of Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Art, and in the new Museum of Contemporary Art that they are building right now. I was privileged to meet some of the local artists, among them is Evelyne Bermann who is also the President of the Kunstraum where a group show of Indonesian contemporary art was showing.

This show, called "Insights", was organized by Fauzie As'ad, one of Indonesian artists that I have known for a long time, whose works I have also shown in my art gallery in Hong Kong. "Insights" was the first art exhibition in Liechtenstein to feature works by contemporary Indonesian artists. Originally, the Kunstraum invited Fauzie to show his work there. However, as Fauzie told me, he was inspired by how I brought Indonesian artists to Hong Kong back then in 2003 when no one else did - opening the windows for Indonesian art to be seen by international audience. Likewise, Fauzie felt that he would love to be able to show the works of his fellow Indonesian artists to Liechtenstein, the country where he has made his home since 1995. Thus "Insights" happened: for the first time ever, works of Indonesian artists were shown for Liechtenstein public. And I think the public loved it!

I hope this would be the first of many shows in Liechtenstein to show works by Indonesian artists. I look forward to visit Liechtenstein again - perhaps when the new Museum of Contemporary Art is ready!

"The Power of Words" workshop by Ocean Whitehawk

 

17th October, 7 - 9PM

 

Words are seeds. Just as what you sow, so shall you reap, you get what you speak. Each sound has a vibration potency which is constructive or destructive. It is critical that your spoken word is carefully chosen to ensure success in every aspect of your life. Did you know that words influence your thinking and affect your emotions? Your everyday words reinforce the unconscious concepts within your psyche and they have a psychological effect which affects the outcome of your goals.

 

Ocean Whitehawk, a dynamic and passionate wisdom teacher joins us at Sin Sin Annex to help you access soul information and past lives to transform problems, blocks, relationship issues, illness and all other challenges you may be experiencing in your life. In this talk, she will show you how badly chosen words can weaken your spirit, lower your self-esteem and sabotage your level of enthusiasm which will impede your progress and produce poor outcomes.

"The Time is Now" Kundalini Yoga by Amir Jaan

31th October, 7 - 9PM

Sin Sin Atelier brings you a holistic experience with Kundalini Yoga by Amir Jaan this autumn. With trainings from Guru mentors of over 30 years experience, notably the late noble master Yogi Bhajan, Amir Jaan was classically trained in the Spiritual Art of Kundalini Yoga at the School of Kundalini Yoga.

He brings a reassuring calmness into any learning environment and Kundalini yoga inspires students into the teaching and consolidated practice of the Spiritual arts. Amir is a powerful instrument to assist those ready for reformation, in an organic, safe and self-healing way.

Time is Now : Universal, Useful, Powerful, Ruthless and Relentless... The concept of TIME appears to dominate the fundamental psychology & behavior patterns of all humanity! Its invisible magic simultaneously offers us a fantastic opportunity to organize our resources and create the great social endeavor; while providing a constant source of anxiety responsible for vast amounts of stress, worry and misunderstanding... So if you're not too busy being busy, treat yourself to a "Time Out" and invest a few moments to make a practical examination of this most emotive of subjects.

Interested parties please RSVP at marketing@Sol-wellness.com or dial 2581 9699 at SOL Wellness, for more information.

Admission: HKD400 per person
