Georgia Russell is the artist responsible for the carved patterns on the cladding.
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…)

Georgia Russell (b. 1974) is a Scottish artist who slashes, cuts and dissects printer matters, music scores, maps, books, newspapers and photographs into beautiful sculpted forms.
This particular piece caught my attention mostly as it bears resemblance to African masks—though its execution is abstract in nature. In some ways it reminded me of the “OMG LOL” sculpture by Michael Mandiberg [1] which I saw in 2009 at Eyebeam in New York. Both use a large hard cover book as their raw materials; both cut them out and turn them into something else. But Manidberg’s piece is one which talks specifically to the technological generation which we are in, where as Russell’s piece is organic in its formation and subconsciously references history in my own memory.
Another fine example of how an everyday object transformed through pure imagination into one such is fantastically extraordinary. Crazyisgood. SML Love.
Georgia Russell studied Fine art at Aberdeen University and the Royal College of Art and is a visiting lecturer at universities and art schools.
