Yue Minjun
Joy is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been the subject of philosophical inquiry for centuries. At its core, joy is an emotional state characterized by a sense of elation, pleasure, and contentment. But it is more than just a fleeting feeling. Born in the year 1962 in the bustling city ofDaqing, China, Yue Minjun’s fascination with art had been a constant in his life following him through the turbulent waters of revolutionary China. It was the human rights violations and political repressions he faced during his upbringing that truly shaped his relationship with the medium and its power to truly, and comically, convey his lived experience.
Ken Taylor - Hats off to nature
“Ken Taylor is a Mexican artist and sculptor shaping, moulding, and painting his visions of the past, present, and future into colourful scenes, ceramic cowboy hats, and entrancing deep blue afternoon skies in the wilderness, cascading into nighttime. Initially we assign words like solitary, desolate, and uninhabited to the desert, but Ken Taylor paints so much more. His latest exhibition can be seen online at Simchowitz Gallery in LA.”
