 Exquisite Taste and Rich: The artwork of collaboration and symbol
Art Supermarket : Michael Andrew Law Solo Exhibition Exhibition at Art Supermarket Gallery Thursday, 6th October until November. Opening Reception: Thursday, 6 Oct, 6 pm - 9 pm - Venue: Art Supermarket 1/F, Asiarich Court, 5 Staunton Street, Soho, Hong Kong. Contemporary is the generation of comments and reviews on the past, thus contemporary art is the best tool and platform. Michael Andrew Law (Born. Law Cheuk-Yui), one of the most original and passionate artists in Hong Kong, with his vibrant and recognisable paintings with the juxtaposition of their visual elements of popular culture are now exhibited in Art Supermarket. For Law, painting is a medium that works as a commentary on contemporary culture. Combining Pop Art, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Law uses a humorous way to connect popular culture from low art to high art, commercial art to fine art, and past to present. The paintings contain various cultural icons and symbolic value in historical art history — Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, David of Michelangelo, and Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, as well as popular icons in contemporary art history such as Jeff Koons’s balloon dog, KAWS, Andy Warhol’s Campbell soup, Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins and Banksy’s Girl with Balloon, along with Hollywood stars and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Hedy Lamarr. Law also incorporates everyday objects like advertising images of global brands such as McDonald's and Coca-Cola, famous food, comics, cartoon characters such as Mr Monopoly, Scrooge McDuck, Snoopy and Mickey Mouse, as well as expenditure trends including luxury brands, and reinterpreted NFT by hand paint the famous NFT art, and Millennials' culture such as taking selfies. Law delicates to explore the symbols of Exquisite Taste and the Rich in our society through these visual elements, by creating a dialogue over the definition of Exquisite Taste in nowadays culture, also the visual elements representing Exquisite Taste and high class, and income and value through modern expression, etc. Whilst some might take the same symbols as meaningless, banal and superficial at the same instant. Besides paying homage to Lichtenstein's Ben-Day dots, Law uses seemingly unrelated images using cinematic techniques like montage and superimposition to create a harmonious, semi-abstract and yet playful scenery. They are painted utilizing classical painting trained techniques and glazing techniques, and next to those are bright graffiti words. Law’s colourful dynamic line strokes created energy and motion effects for viewers, as well as used paint splatter to enrich images texture, presenting a certain level of art paint techniques. Law studied classical painting theories and techniques with Italian American classical painter Dan Anderson. His paintings are expressions of contrasts, of opposites that attract whether in symbology or artistic language. The reinterpretation of familiar Western Pop Art iconography, which is rendered through the mastery of classical painting makes Law a powerful contemporary storyteller. This October, Law’s work will be installed at Jao Tsung-I Academy Museum. The exhibition is a series of paintings part of Law’s Art History Dialogues body of works.

This exhibition will include Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe by Michael Andrew Law from his best-selling large art series ‘What If Julian Schnabel goes Pop Series’, shows the artist's fondness for the master painter Julian Schnabel. To create a dialogue with art history through referencing a lot of art history elements, glitter is represented by pigment powder, and the text could represent a rather modern expression. Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) is an oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet created in 1862. Michael Andrew Law’s The Birth of Venus Contemporary Pop Paintings series is based on the visual of broken mirrors which resembles reflective images from shattered glass combined with colorful tangrams with the goal in the artist's mind to explore pop culture images from the pieces of a tangram. This painting referencing the famous Italian painting “The Birth of Venus (Nascita di Venere)” is a painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, probably made in the mid 1480s. It depicts the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown (called Venus Anadyomene and often depicted in art). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.  展覽詳情 :
日期 : 2022 年 9 月 30 日至 10 月 3 日(星期五至一) 時間 : 上午 10 時 30 分至下午 6 時 地點 : 九龍美孚青山道 800 號饒宗頤文化館 F 座下層展覽廳 費用 : 免費入場 詳情查詢: 可致電或電郵至：info@hkiyas.com 或 9062 1702 羅卓睿老師 (Michael Andrew Law) 的 ”If Julian Schnabel goes Pop” 系列的作品在饒宗頤博物館獲收錄展覽, 是次活動鳴謝ExcelNet和Gloria的贊助, 也鳴謝HIYA策劃. 羅卓睿的當代流行繪畫系列作品《維納斯的誕生》以破碎的鏡子的視覺效果為基礎，類似於破碎玻璃的反射《維納斯的誕生》圖像，結合五顏六色的七巧板，藝術家羅卓睿的目標是從七巧板的碎片中探索流行文化圖像。 這幅畫參考了意大利著名畫作《維納斯的誕生》（意大利語：Nascita di Venere）是意大利藝術家桑德羅·波提切利的一幅畫，可能創作於 1480 年代中期。 它描繪了女神維納斯在她出生後到達岸邊，當時她已經從海中完全長大（稱為維納斯阿納多梅內，經常在藝術中描繪）。 這幅畫現藏於意大利佛羅倫薩的烏菲茲美術館。 草地上的午餐作品來自羅卓睿最暢銷的大型藝術系列 “如果祖利安·斯納貝爾畫科普系列會怎樣” 作一個假設命題，因為藝術家羅卓睿對大師畫家 Julian Schnabel 作品的情有獨鍾。 通過引用大量的藝術史元素來創造與藝術史和當代藝術作品的對話，閃光代表顏料粉末，而文字可以代表更有現代藝術特色的表達。Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe（草地上的午餐）——原名為Le Bain The Bath) – 是愛德華·馬奈 (Édouard Manet) 於 1862 年創作的布面油畫。 The end of September to early October, couple of Michael Andrew Law's ”If Julian Schnabel goes Pop” series artwork will go on showing at Jao Tsung-I Academy Museum, sponsored by Gloria Leung from ExcelNet and HIYA.
