“Georgia Russell: Brushstroke (red), 2013. (Cut paper; plexiglass)” / Galerie Karsten Greve AG St. Moritz / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13863

Here is another piece of work by Georgia Russell. Paper has been cut to form layers abstract brush strokes. It shows skills, determination and artistry by the artist.

 

Papercutting (Jianzhi 剪紙) is an art practiced in China since at least the 6th century AD. Red is the color for fortune and good luck in China. So when I say that the works from Art Basel Hong Kong has a very strong Asian representation—either through the origin of the artists or that with motifs originating from Asia, I do mean that quite literally. And some of the gallerists spoke to have expressed that they do intentionally curate the show for the Chinese audience, showing some of the pieces which they would not usually show if the art fair is held at other places in the world.

 

Another one of my favourite pieces of the show. Highly recommended.

 

(Pardon the reflection from the glass. Sometimes I think that they intentionally place shiny materials on these installation so no one can get a good shot of the artwork…)
