Pearl Lam Galleries (www.pearllam.com) presented Presence of Whiteness by Zhu Jinshi, its first dual-space solo exhibition since the opening of the new gallery at Dempsey Hill from 10 January to 5 March 2017.
Following his recent solo at Pearl Lam Galleries Hong Kong, which featured a series of black and white paintings, Zhu Jinshi will present over 20 coloured paintings created between 2012 to 2016 at the Dempsey Hill space. The works can be seen as a dialectic of colour as concept; in keeping with his "detached from colour" series of paintings, here colour is transformed into enriched bodily forms traversing between whiteness and colour-filled three-dimensional space on canvas.
As an extension to the show in Dempsey Hill, happening from 10 January to 30 April 2017, the Gillman Barracks gallery featured works consisting of painting, installation, and text that span a fifty-year period, delineating a personal history of persistence and destruction as well as attachment and reflection.
