As Water

While water can be a metaphor for human creativity, on a more literal level it has always been a key constituent in ink painting and calligraphy. Modern and contemporary artists continued to experiment with water’s material properties throughout the 20^th and 21^st centuries. The artists in this exhibition show us how water is mastered and manipulated in new and exciting ways today.

3812 Gallery has a long-standing commitment to ink art. Many of the artists in this exhibition work primarily if not exclusively in ink. The crisp meticulous brush techniques of Yan Yanling’s (b. 1974) flower and insect painting embody the precision that can be achieved with the careful of control of this malleable media. The diverse materials of Chloe Ho’s (b.1987) oeuvre experiment with combinations of ink, colour pigments, as well as unexpected ingredients like coffee, infusing her evocative figural and floral forms with an intriguing ambiguity.
