SUMMARY:Francesco Carozza: Gesture\, Form\, & Colour
DESCRIPTION:Novalis Art Design is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Francesco Carozza in Asia with support from the Italian Cultural Institute – Hong Kong. “Colour provokes a psychic vibration”\, wrote Wassily Kandinsky in the chapter on The language of form and colour in his book Concerning the Spiritual in Art (1910). This “vibration” can also be found in the works of Francesco Carozza: it is a spiritual tension\, the pure power of colour and material.  \nFrancesco’s style is instantly recognisable. His paintings\, simple in their immediacy\, conceal the artist’s unceasing exploration and connection with the international pictorial tradition of the 20th and 21st centuries.  \nRepetition and variation are also key concepts in 20th-century architecture and art. Think how important it was for the exponents of Pop Art\, whose paintings explore the ever-present tension between the potential of reproduction without limits and the uniqueness of the works\, which can never be repeated. In the same way\, Francesco Carozza reproduces a formal schema\, using the same movements but creating unique works that not even the artist himself can repeat\, as they are the result of an artistic process that is partially determined by chance. \nFrancesco’s approach is ritualistic\, almost obsessive. His creative gestures are reiterated on each canvas\, in a constant search for the repetition and variation of the elements of painting: gesture\, form and colour.

SUMMARY:ELSEWHERE
DESCRIPTION:Novalis Art Design is pleased to present Elsewhere\, a new collection by design duo Batten and Kamp. When designing the pieces in this collection\, Batten and Kamp tried to imagine them from an alternative universe\, a world much like our own but just slightly different. Perhaps created by an alien race in a place where gravity\, or materiality or memories work differently. \nThis collection is about exploring the concept of ‘Elsewhere’\, of the many layers and connotations this word conjures up. There are many ‘elsewheres’ hidden within this exhibition. The main principle being that even though we project ourselves to a time or place to get away from the present\, we always end up circling back to it. The word itself implies a sense of escapism. We want to run from the problems of our present and hence we go to this hypothetical fictional place that we conjure up. In a sense science fiction also presents a thought experiment to get away from present problems\, and yet\, the imagined world is never detached from the contemporary as it is an attempt to imagine solutions to current problems. We might also choose to conjure up an ‘elsewhere’ from our memories\, a place from the past and yet\, details are always blurry\, never completely accurate\, tinted by nostalgia. Those places from the past too\, are to an extent imagined places\, tinted by our current mood or outlook within our perspective. Hence\, ‘elsewhere’ is a projection that always ends up circling back to present day\, our here and now. \nAs part of the BODW CityProg\, we will be hosting guided tours on the 4 December 2021\, 3 – 6 pm. Interested parties please sign up on the event page linked here.
