PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Osage Gallery presents

WALKING, DREAMING, PAINTING
Ng Joon Kiat, Ian Woo, Ma Shuqing

Osage Gallery is pleased to announce that the exhibition Walking, Dreaming, Painting will beextended to December 15, 2016.
Titled “Walking Dreaming Painting”, the exhibition explores the processes and consciousness that
result in the paintings by these three artists respectively. As in walking, we encounter active
meditations, the filtering of everyday hustle and bustle, paralleled by the encountering of boundaries,
man-made and artificial, and the immanent experiences of the flow, friction and movements of andbetween humans and nature. As in dreaming, we experience forms that arise from our deep

subconscious, colors that fill in for the lack of representation, and the poetic. As in painting, we arereminded that these artists push and comment on the capabilities of paint as a medium using paintitself. We are witnesses to the ability of paint to measure time, to give form to space, and to open
up a flat plane.

skills, allowing the art to focus on the fundamental expression of inwardness. For him, the natureof each and every routine in life in interconnection.

展覽探討了三個藝術家各自的繪畫過程和意識。就像在漫步之中，我們常常陷入冥想以過濾日
常生活帶來的喧囂及平行于各種人為事物之間的界限，在內在意識經驗的流動之中，摩擦和人

類與自然之間的韻律。在夢之中，我們的經驗形成了我們的深度意識，色彩填補了我們生活中缺乏的詩意。正如在畫中，我們提醒著說，這些藝術家推動和評論繪畫的能力，讓畫作本身成
為了一種媒介。我們見證了畫作可以丈量時間，形成空間，并開啟了一個平面的能力。

展覽日期2016 年 9 月 7 日-2016 年 12 月 15 日

開放時間
星期一至六 10.30 – 18.30
星期日 14.30 – 18.30
