Chan + Hori Contemporary presents Loi Cai Xiang’s “Void” at the gallery’s Singapore venue.Loi Cai Xiang’s first solo exhibition articulates an explosive disquiet, beguiling tableaus otherwise reminiscent of the traditional and academic. They juxtapose ideas inspired by latent symbols attached to references such as pelicans in traditional Chinese culture, furniture from his family home and the industrial environment where his previous studio was located. The artist feels the constant need to define a void that resides between us and the physical world is an attempt to make sense and create a synthetic connection to explain a state of being. It is this endeavor, which results in a personal exploration for sensibility to define a private gulf that exists between my conscious and subconscious state of mind.Loi Cai Xiang (b. 1992) Singapore is a graduate from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), and works mainly in oil and draws inspiration from personal experiences and reflections of his environment in exploring different modes of representation through realism. Cai is also a recipient of Tan Chay Bing and Ngee Ann Kongsi Scholarships and had exhibited at various art shows in Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore. His works are currently collected by private collectors and corporation such as Clifton and Asia Capital Reinsurance.The exhibition is on view through August 20, 2017 at Chan + Hori Contemporary, 6 Lock Road Gillman Barracks #02-09 Singapore 108934.For details, visit: https://www.chanhori.com Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
