Gallery Ascend Presents: A Duo Art Show by Alexis Jang and Takuya Kamioka
Gallery Ascend is thrilled to unveil its latest exhibition, "The Light She Carries" x "California Dreamscape" , a captivating duo art show featuring the distinct talents of two remarkable artists: Alexis Jang, hailing from Berlin, and Takuya Kamioka, based in Japan. This exhibition promises to immerse art enthusiasts in a world where light, shadow, and imagination converge to create a truly transcendent visual experience.
Alexis Jang: "The Light She Carries"
It is a testament to the power of art to capture the essence of women's inner radiance. Comprising five exquisite oil paintings, Jang's work delves into the interplay of light and darkness, featuring candles as both subject matter and symbolic elements. Candles, with their timeless presence in art history, have represented divine light and spiritual illumination, often found in scenes of religious rituals and altars. In still-life paintings, they symbolize transience and the fleeting nature of life and beauty.
Jang's masterful use of oil paints brings to life the warm, flickering glow of candles, casting enchanting shadows that evoke emotions and contemplation. "The Light She Carries" pays homage to women who have illuminated the path for generations, embodying hope, wisdom, and resilience. Jang's art captures not only the outer beauty of her subjects but also their inner radiance that shines brightly despite life's challenges.
Takuya Kamioka: "California Dreamscape"
Takuya Kamioka, with a background rooted in street culture, takes viewers on a mesmerizing journey through his "California Dreamscape." Drawing inspiration from his global travels, Kamioka's art is a fusion of reality and imagination. He skillfully combines his own photography with imaginative elements to create dreamlike atmospheres in his paintings, inviting viewers into his vibrant and colorful world.
Kamioka's recent focus on oil painting adds depth and richness to his work, allowing him to vividly capture the climate, colors, and atmosphere of California. His art resonates with the energy of unused skateboarding pools, celebrating the beauty of the mundane and the extraordinary in everyday life.
Perfect Harmony: An Artistic Convergence
The juxtaposition of Alexis Jang's exploration of light, shadow, and feminine resilience alongside Takuya Kamioka's dreamlike interpretations of California's vibrancy creates a harmonious balance in "Luminous Reverie." These two artists, though distinct in their styles and backgrounds, find a meeting point where emotions and imagination merge seamlessly.
Gallery Ascend invites art enthusiasts and connoisseurs to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing world. This captivating duo art show promises to be a visual symphony where light, shadows, dreams, and resilience intertwine to ignite the imagination.
Don't miss the opportunity to witness the magic of this luminous reverie at Gallery Ascend, located in Wong Chuk Hang. The exhibition opens on 16th September, with an exclusive meet and greet with Takuya Kamioka at 2:00 PM. Join us in celebrating as their art transports you to a world of luminous dreams.
