Art Taipei 2013

​Sarah LAI 

8 - 11 November 2013

Exhibition Hall One, Taipei World Trade Centre, Taiwan

For Art Taipei 2013, Gallery EXIT will present Sarah Lai's fresh take on fruits through painting, sculpture and video. She surveys the idea of "still life" in classical art and how it is relevant today in our increasingly dematerialized world.

By peeling, cutting and arranging lemons, watermelons, apples and bananas into compositional patterns, Lai exerts a austere precision through handling these daily consumables. Attention is shifted from mere reproduction towards a raw depiction of colour and form. The fruits she makes, encompassed in a subtle and unifying atmospheric haze, become a display for geometric perfection, ready to be regarded with fresh eyes.

Sarah Lai received a BA in Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2007. In the same year, she received Ramon Woon Creative Prize, Grotto Fine Arts's Creative Award and Cheng's Fine Arts Award in Western Painting. She is also a finalist of Sovereign Art Prize 2010.

安全口畫廊將在Art Taipei 2013展出黎卓華新作；以嶄新的手法，透遇繪畫、彫塑和錄像創作的水果系列。藝術家檢視傳統藝術中"靜物"的概念及其在今天逐漸非物質化的世界裡的相互關係。

藝術家通過削皮、切割檸檬、西瓜、蘋果及香蕉等果物然後再排列成精準的構圖，這些日常消耗品得以最樸實嚴酷的狀態呈現於人。從單純的實物重現轉移到對顏色和 形態不加掩飾的描述，藝術家畫筆下的水果被一層難於觸摸的霧霾籠罩着，成為純粹幾何形態的展示，讓觀眾有一次新鮮的視覺體驗。

黎卓華畢業於2007年香港中文大學藝術系。同年，她獲得翁凌宇創作獎嘉圖創作獎和張系創作獎。她更入圍2010年傑出亞洲藝術獎。
