Exhibition Review - Liu Jianhua:'Between' Pace London till 23rd Dec 2015.
Jianhua's unleaded kiln
arranges china into bone within a system:
Invasion of human clay
into ruled porcelain puddles
of fragile blue skies.- Drenched Co
Comment: "Jianhua's poetry needs good poetry (better than anything I can write). Everything else falls short. Jianhua's work is seeped in heritage and porcelain has an interesting history in England and aren't we just so enarmoured with porcelain and ceramics just now? I loved his 'Untitled 2012', a set of eight ceramic discs. " - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Levi Van Veluw:'the foundation' Rosenfeld Porcini, London till 26th Nov 2016.
“I biro a profile clean,
mistaking shadows for symmetry,
lost in the scattering
coherence in curiosity."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "My first intro to Van Veluw was in 2008 through photographs of his face with ballpoint marks. To me these were a piece of theatre concerned more about self-erasure then self-expression. In his later work 'The Origin of the Beginning', I started wondering if Van Veluw's work was not more about finding a place for himself and mankind in general within the grand scheme of nature and the divine. And this became clear in 'The Relativity of Matter' where Van Veluw becomes the accomplished maker of the wunderkammer, fingering perhaps at the idea behind the museums today and their collections. And here again he attempts to erase out his profile from his darkened archive rooms, beautifully challenging ideas of the formation, preservation and interpretation of an impossible collection. Fabulous." - Raj

Exhibition Review - Jānis Avotiņš:'Since the Foundation' Ibid. London till 6th Feb 2016.
Jānis textures new spaces to think about a shared past. - Drenched Co.
Comment: "Janis paints with the softest of touches, almost as if he is painting primarily to tease out the bumps and irregularities in his canvases, to individually mark them out, one highlighted bump at a time. And with every circled flaw, Janis textures the collective moments that are remembered as the soviet era. One of the remarkable things about collective memory is that is has texture and that it relies on the materiality of trace. For me, Janis' paintings show memories of a bygone era that have been encoded in postures, clothes and bodily practice brought to primacy by their texture. Loved it! " - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Yinka Shonibare MBE: '...and the wall fell away' Stephen Friedman Gallery, London till 11th Nov 2016.
“the mockery was born
from misplaced embroidery
stitches
of traded thread"
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "In this exhibition, Shonibare's art is once again about 'purloined seduction or pretend authenticity'. To me, Shonibare's magic lies in his contextual use of wax batik textiles. The voluptuousness of his fabric and its garish patterns always seduced and was slower to the gaze. Each fold and weave of the material often played with you before abandoning you to confused signifiers. To me, meanings are woven into the fabric itself and do not simply translate into flat, vernacular patterns of African ethnicity. But sadly, the fold, pleat and stitch is no longer." - Jayzee

Exhibition Review - Heman Chong:'An Arm, A Leg and Other Stories' South London Gallery, London till 28th Feb 2016.
With Heman I lost my absurd,
in brief receipts of disconnect,
it came up floating Meursault. - Drenched Co.
Comment: " As always, I believe Heman is commenting about Singapore. And for me his work smacks of the demeanor of this tiny island nation - it is cautiously clear, cynically pragmatic, as subtle as a business card transaction and as rule obsessed as a mathematician. It has a sterile high-concept lucidity, work-the-system sprezzatura and is alarmingly unencumbered by history or meaning. I found Heman's accomplished appropriation of works and stripping of meaning most interesting and telling. I liked his 'Inclusion(s)' best." - JayZee
