Here, There And Everywhere
27/09-27/10/2014
"Here, There & Everywhere" is a series of fine art screen-printed editions, depicting natural landscapes and constructed landmarks in vivid colour and dynamic imagery. The imagery takes inspiration from the artist’s surroundings, reflecting on her observations and experiences. The landscape prints within the series are composited of real and imagined scenery, fused into compositions that could be everywhere and anywhere. The landmark prints within the series are hand drawings of buildings, removed from the greater cityscape where they are found, singled out and altered in colour, environment and detail.

He has what appears to be an obsessive interest in the forms of the city. In Kowarsky's hand, even the most chaotic public intersection appears quiet and clean, an effect he compares to 19th century photography.

Prints celebrating Mexico's Day of the Dead
16 to 18 MAY 2014
In celebration of Mexico's Day of the Dead, Odd One Out on Sau Wah Fong is hosting a non-profit travelling exhibition featuring 250+ prints from around the world. The La Calaca travelling exhibition will be exhibited at Odd One Out and at participating shops in the neighbourhood, including Manks, Lala Curio, Jouer, Polab, {sfs} cafe, Igloo, and Colorful Colors. In addition, there will be a free monoprint workshop from 3pm to 4.30pm on Sunday May 18th.
About La CALACA:
Since 2010 Carlos Barbarena of Chicago has organised print exchanges celebrating Mexico's Day of the Dead. Skulls, devils, skeletons and humour abound in this important date in Mexico's festive calendar.
243 artists participated in last year's La Calaca print exchange and this is the first time the work has been shown in Hong Kong,
2013 is also the 100th anniversary of the death of José Guadalupe Posada. This Mexican artist is famed for using calaveras [skulls and skeletons] in satirical depictions of public life, politics and religion. While Posada died in obscurity his engravings found a new audience in the 1920s thanks to the French artist Jean Charlot, who encountered them while visiting Diego Rivera. Today Posada's images are well known throughout Mexico and Latin America, where they have become synonymous with El Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.

'Life Along The River' will be showing from the 7th to 30th of March with an opening reception with the artist Damon Kowarsky in attendance on 7th March from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
Life Along the River is a collaborative suite of 14 etchings and an accompanying zine. The prints and zine are based on Damon's drawings of the riverside architecture of Kyoto, Japan with artistic interventions by Kyoko.
The drawings were made during their research trip to Japan in 2011 and 2013.
Odd One Out are proud to present 'Feathers and fur', the first public exhibition of art in Hong Kong for Kyoko Imazu.
'Feathers and furs' will be showing from the 21st of November to the 15th of December with an opening reception with the artist in attendance on November 21st from 6:00pm to 11:00pm.
Kyoko is a Japanese artist who has found herself residing in Melbourne, Australia since 2002 where she works on multiple mediums including etching and aquatint print creating some of the most unique and interesting pieces found in the medium.
ODD ONE OUT found Kyoko's work while on a trip to Kyoko's current of home of Melbourne on an art exploration trip and was instantly drawn to her work and was thrilled when Kyoko accepted her offer to fly out to Hong Kong for the opening of this exhibition. Although not her first time exhibiting internationally, she is excited about showing her art in Hong Kong because she has heard and seen many things about the burgeoning art scene and looks forward to getting amongst it.
As a child, Kyoko drew animals like rabbits, rats, cats and birds for her mother. These choice of subjects have carried over into her current work and animals continue to dominate her art practice. Her works on paper are inspired by Japanese folklore, museum taxidermy collections as well as her cat Rachel. Although her work recalls elements of from tales told to her as a child, she prefers to keep the narratives open and ambiguous so that people can make up their own stories. In the same sense that Maurice Sendak's 'Where the Wild Things Are' created a virtual universe in the space of just 300 words, Kyoko's pieces allows a viewer to let their imagination run free.
Although once under valued as an art form, Kyoko's skills in etching along with her creative vision truly exemplifies what is possible using these creative mediums. Artists like Kyoko are leading a movement which sees printing being judged on the same merits as more 'traditional' mediums.
'Feathers and Fur' is running from the 21st of November until the 15th of December at the ODD ONE OUT gallery. Hidden away in the back streets of Wan Chai just off the very trendy St Francis Street area, ODD ONE OUT offers an exquisite range of 'affordable art' in the form of limited run screenprints, woodcut prints and homewares which have been handcrafted by the artists. The opening on the 21st starts at 6pm and Kyoko and ODD ONE OUT would love to see you there!
Gallery hours are 12:00pm to 7:00pm Tuesday - Sunday
