About the exhibition:

Artist statement:
I am interested in hidden possibilities. I believe that the powerful and the great can fall apart in an instant, and that the small and the weak are capable of having extraordinary and almost threatening power. I only paint the pattern of the gold fish and its appearance seems to lack something. I express fragility or an existence which includes possibility, incompletion, and imperfection.’Goldfish might be seen as boring creatures, artificially created to please the human eye but I believe their charm lies in their moving sense. They jump and dance around. Even when I feel life is flat and it looks like I don’t stand a chance, I always like to think that things might change when one holds a positive power. I would at least like to realize that I am trying.

About the Artist:
Takehiro Yoshimitsu, born in 1978 in Kanagawa Japan has had numerous exhibitions in Japan but will be shown for the first time in Hong Kong with this cute little exhibition called ‘Flatdance’. Stage 1 will turn into a large fishbowl where the visitor can become part of the installation, the goldfish dancing and swimming around him. Stage 1 is located at the G/F of the industrial builing in Fotan that also houses Blue Lotus Gallery and many aritst studio’s. The location enhances the idea of the exhibition that beautiful creatures and things might come out of isolation and imperfect situations.

The artist will be present on the opening.
More pictures on request.
