NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & FIVE.
September16
I’m so glad Leonie, Chris and I got our ayes into gee a couple of Fridays ago and headed down to the opening night of the exhibition of Kevin Tran’s new body of work Strobe at China Heights. Previously unfamiliar with Tran’s work, I was hugely impressed by his bold, geometric infused images of animal, mineral, vegetable… well not so much the vegetable, but you get the point.
Tran applied a combination of chalk pastel, acrylic, gouache, water colour, Indian ink and pencil onto plywood panels to create this series, which he indicates was birthed out of that particular energy and rhythm found within the crowds of people, places and memories that define the balmy nights of a hot Summer.
If you didn’t already get to it, the exhibition is unfortunately over. But keep an eye on Tran’s blog for future shows. This is definitely one kid to watch.
More images after the break.
