Past Events

La Lune, The Moon 

9 of September to 6th of October 2022

ODD ONE OUT is proud to host “La lune, The Moon”, by printmaker Mio Asahi. The exhibition will be held at ODD ONE OUT on the 9th of September to 6th of October 2022.

‘La Lune, The Moon’ features a selection of hand embellished etchings by Mio Asahi. To celebrate an important element that frequently appears in Mio’s work: the moon.

Drawing exclusively from her own imagination, the world and characters Mio creates are solely her own but feel incredibly familiar, like they have been plucked from an obscure myth or story. Mouselike figures travel by flying fish across a night sky lit by three moons. A bride travels to her wedding set on the night of a full blue moon. A group of travelers take a seemingly routine commute to the moon on a ferry that glides in the air over fields of tall grass. 

Mio frames her prints with decorative borders and patterns, sometimes with captions in a language that only she understands. By presenting her prints with irregular edges around the images, these fantastical scenes seem to magically appear on the paper directly from Mio’s imagination. Her prints are primarily monochromatic with hand painted details to bring small pops of color to her characters. In some pieces, the moons are treated with metallic foil, creating another layer of ethereal mystery to her pieces

Mio Asahi was born in Osaka, Japan. She graduated from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto and currently works as a painter and printmaker. Her work fluidly mixes east and west, by using the western printing process of etching and aquatint, but her subject matter is distinctly japanese.

 


ODD ONE OUT is proud to host “ Tomorrow is Another Day”, by printmaker An Gee Chan. The exhibition will be held at ODD ONE OUT on the 13th August to 7th of September 2022.


‘Tomorrow is Another Day’ trails a group of horseback riders as they travel on a never ending journey through a lush yet sometimes inhospitable landscape. Throughout their travels, various events occur, some joyful, some unfortunate. An Gee captures these moments in time and pairs the detailed etchings with humorous titles.


Featuring 12 etchings by An Gee Chan, a selection of her hand pulled ceramics that continue her darkly humorous theme will be available as well.
An Gee Chan holds a Bachelor’s degree(Hon) in illustration and animation at Kingston University and a Master’s degree in Fine Art in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art in London. She has taught printmaking and drawing at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. She is represented by Tintype Gallery in London and has participated in exhibitions both locally and internationally.


An Gee collects daily life observations and experiences as sources of inspiration. Feelings of regret, the unpredictable, lack of control in life, separation and loneliness are transformed into works that encapsulates these feelings in an easily approachable style. Her works are generally narrative based with an allegorical quality, ranging from playful to more sinister subject matter. Her titles are often humorous despite the dark imagery.


Printmaking is An Gee’s main outlet for expressing her ideas. Her printmaking works range from large scale painterly monoprint screen prints, child-like graphic paper cut outs that are then screen printed onto various materials to tiny detailed etchings. Having acquired a range of technical skills across her career, she also works fluidly between other disciplines - drawing, painting, ceramics and murals.

Fragments of Time

2 April  - 15 May 2022 (extended!)

ODD ONE OUT is proud to be hosting “Fragments of Time”, the latest exhibition by Hong Kong printmaker Jeannie Wong Ho Ching. The exhibition will be held at ODD ONE OUT this Saturday on the 2nd of April until the 2nd of May.

“Fragments of Time” is a collection of work by Jeannie that explores the cache of memories and feelings that have accumulated and subsequently been suppressed in her subconscious. Through the act similar to recalling memories, fragments of images from daily experiences are drawn to the surface and pieced together to create spaces. They resemble reality but are instead occupied by ambiguous animals and objects and hint at a nonlinear narrative. 

By recalling these fragments long suppressed in her mind, Jeannie reassembles the pieces to create landscapes and disjointed spaces. Feelings of anxiety manifest themselves as portals, bodies of water, animals and fragmented pieces of architecture, motifs frequently found throughout Jeannie’s work. The completed images become a record of emotions triggered by events both physical and psychological, prior and prospective, near and far.

Through a combination of printmaking techniques, the prints themselves exist in a nebulous space. Water pigments from mokuhanga are soaked into the fibers of the papers, while the delicate lines printed with oil based etching ink seem to float on top.

Ho Ching Jeannie Wong is a Hong Kong based artist. Born and raised in Hong Kong, she graduated from the Hong Kong Baptist University- Visual Arts Academy in 2017 and later worked at her alma mater as a print technician. She received her MA in print at the Royal College of Art, London, in 2021. 

Jeannie has participated in various group shows in Hong Kong, London, Bremen and Japan. She held her first solo exhibition in 2019 at the Hong Kong Open Print Shop.

ODD ONE OUT is proud to be hosting “Glimmers Of The Stones”, the latest exhibition by Japanese printmaker Ayaka Asano. The exhibition is opening at ODD ONE OUT this Saturday on the 6th of November until the 6th of December.

Ayaka captures intimate moments or emotions and encapsulates them into tiny cherished objects. She draws inspiration from daily life and creates a series of drawings by etching onto copper plates. Transforming an ordinary life into something special, with its own unique story.

Born in Shizuoka near Mt Fuji and spending her childhood in the countryside, Ayaka's work fully embraces and captures the aesthetic of the Japanese countryside. Depicting mountains and rice fields with wild vegetables and fruits.

By printing on a miniature scale with unusual gem-like silhouettes Ayaka encourages the viewer to go up close and discover the story each gem holds. To compliment the prints, she also adds small personal touches. Whether it is hand painting each print with subtle tones and colours, pairing her prints with hand knit lace or framing her etchings in delicate paper frames made by collaborator and artist Eryngii. These prints are meant to be held and admired up close.

Asano Ayaka graduated from Osaka University of Arts and has been organising exhibitions since 2011. She has shown in different countries including Seoul, Taichung, Busan and Osaka. During her career of being an artist, she has obtained various awards and achievements. She uses a mixture of recycled materials in her etching work.

Au Wah Yan - A Tender Mosquito Solo Exhibition

5 June - 7 July 2021

ODD ONE OUT is pleased to present an exhibition of printmaking works by Hong Kong illustrator and printmaker Au Wah Yan.

"A Tender Mosquito” is one of the stories from her short stories book “ Dreams of a Toad”. “ a mosquito barges into your sweet dreams, a gecko hides itself at home, a whale sweeps through the town, a wild boar….”

Inspired by the wealth of short animal fables in Latin America. Each piece is paired with an original story written in the style of a fable by the artist. Animals pushed out of their natural environment by humans appear again in urban settings or take on human qualities.

While at a month long artist residency in Buenos Aires, Au Wah Yan was introduced to photolithography. The painterly and dream-like qualities of the pieces in “A Tender Mosquito” are the result of many years of experimentation in the photolithography process.

「多夢易醒的觀察員。在夢裡旁觀故事,於現實捕捉畫面,是寓言也像預言。」

“An Observer who dreams a lot and stays awake often.catch stories in dreams by portraying them in reality. A metaphorical prophecy.”

Wah Yan graduated with a BA Fine Art at New Asia College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her illustration works have been published in numerous local magazines and newspapers. In 2017 she was an artist-in-residence at Proyecto’ace, Argentina and started Printhow, a printmaking collective, with her friends the same year. A collection of short stories in print “Dreams of a Toad" was published in 2019. 

Kyoko Imazu x Naoko Tsurdome Exhibition

31 March - 9 May 2021

ODD ONE OUT is pleased to present an exhibition of printmaking works by Kyoko Imazu & Naoko Tsurudome. Kyoko is a Japanese artist, papercut and etchings printmaker, and sculptor, living and working in Australia. Naoko is a Japanese artist and printmaker, specialising in colour etchings and mezzotint, based in Paris. 


Kyoko’s work focuses on detailed etchings that capture the whimsical side of life, with characters who live and frolic in nature with cats, rabbits, butterflies, and others. These moments in time are beautifully captured - every turn of a petal, blade of grass, and butterfly wing is its own world. Naoko’s work is focused on often humorous pieces of animals and plants in nature. These delicate pieces are influenced by Japanese culture and French whimsy, creating playful and delicate imagery.

Both artists left Japan to pursue their artistic journeys, where they have explored Japanese and Western culture and woven it into their work. Each artwork tells story of its own and we hope this exhibition indulges your whimsical imagination.

 

 

 

 If Not, Winter

6 Feb - 7March 2021

We are excited to announce that Ewelina Skowronska’s latest exhibition “If Not, Winter” is opening at ODD ONE OUT on Saturday the 5th of February running until the 7th of March.

“If Not, Winter" is a new body of work created mostly during her artist residency at Shirakino Art Village in Minamishimabara Japan in early 2020. The series, is inspired by fragments of Sappho with lyrics depicting feminine beauty, desire and rejecting the world of masculine warfare and explores issues connected with gender, identity, sexuality and the body.
Drawing from personal experience, Ewelina Skowronska touches on subjects connected with the experience of living within the body, and the ways gender and sexuality intersect to form complex identities. Much is left to the imagination while working with the fragments of Sappho. Thinking about language, as being both shared and personal, this series questions what are the new meanings and connections we could take for ourselves? Especially now, during such an uneasy time with the uncertain future. 

About Ewelina Skowronska
Visual artist and printmaker (b. 1980 in Poland, currently lives and works in Tokyo). After having an accomplished career in advertising, Ewelina decided to fully dedicate herself to art in 2013. She retrained and specialised in visual arts at University of The Arts London where she graduated with distinction in 2015.

Female body is at the forefront of Ewelina’s prints and ceramic sculptures. She moves away from showing it as a finite whole, instead expressing it through a sense of space and fluidity, producing a distinctive vision of feminine physicality. Through exploration of the fundamentals of colour, form, lines and negative space she focuses on ephemeral and unspoken aspects, using a combination of different printing techniques to produce a unique and powerful contrast. By exploring the interplay between nudity and carnality, she creates images on the edge of figurative and abstraction.

Ewelina's work has been exhibited in London, Ireland, USA, Canada and Tokyo. In 2017 she got awarded with Print Prize by ST Bridge Foundation, her prints are in the collection of VA Museum London, she was shortlisted for RA Summer.

After great success with her “Record Of The Seasons” series, Saki started to explore her daily scenes from a more personal perspective. “Moments In Time” expresses a personal narrative on people's daily life, including her own. With scenes such as being a mother to one finding tranquility at night time; by capturing  smallest moments in life she hopes to touch her audience’s feelings and their memories.

Six limited edition screenprints will be showing at the exhibition in addition to homewares and her latest art zine from her “Each Life” exhibition which was published by Commune Press in June earlier this year.

“Wish You Luck”

Charlene Man

19th September- 24th of October

 

2020 — Don’t scramble to change its course when you all you need is a stroke of luck. Wish You Luck by Charlene Man is the magic wand we’ve all been waiting for; a wand in the shape of two cats, and a bat, a dragon and a phoenix, a horse and a hundred children. The change we’ve all been yearning for! Reinvent your wealth and health, and your aesthetic perception on Feng Shui paintings with this series of cheery illustrations. Embrace the year’s dichotomies. Whoever said luck and laziness couldn’t coexist? Just look at Lazy Cat. Why not get you a cat that can do both?

 

There is a devious innocence in the simplicity of Artist Charlene Man’s joyful compositions; her colourful works invite all into a world of arrestingly bold humour, where an approach to the punchline is the relatability of it all. Based between both London and Hong Kong, her inspirations follow her from everyday life, a mixed culture calliope brimming with more than just a happy image.

 

Moments in Time

Sayaka Kawamura

7th of Auguest - 2nd of September

ODD ONE OUT is proud to be hosting “Me Time”, the latest exhibition by Japanese Moku-hanga printmaker Sayaka Kawamura. In the current unstable and unpredictable time, we all need a little “Me Time”. Our hope is this exhibition brings you some time, if only for a moment where you are truly alone with yourself and use this time to recharge and get away from the world.

Sayaka’s work depicts an altered state where dreams and reality overlap. Her work portrays images that aren’t possible, yet somehow still manage to feel relatable.

Sayaka Kawamura was born in Hokkaido, Japan. In 2016, She graduated with a Masters in Printmaking at Tama Art 

University Graduate School. She is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards including Tosa Washi Prize winner of the 10th Kochi International Triennial Exhibition of Prints and the grand prize winner of 23rd Kanuma Shiritsu 

Kawakamisumio Museum printmaking award. She is represented in a number of public and private collections in Japan and Internationally.

 

TRANQUILITY
by Damon Kowarsky
30th of June - 2 of August 2020

We are happy to announce our first exhibition since the start of Covid-19, Tranquility by Damon Kowarsky. In a time of anxiety and uncertainty, we hope the works featured in Tranquility help you find a sense of peace and calm. 

This exhibition features 10 pieces of intaglio prints produced by Damon between 2015 and 2020 during his extended visits and art residencies in Asia and Europe. Architecture and the colours of the earth inspire much of his work.

Having travelled extensively across South Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, his work takes in elements that make it familiar, yet strikingly unique.

 

Exhibition Dates
29th February - 31st March 2020




Taking inspiration from the rich and complex structure of the cityscape, Onion Peterman is fascinated by the formation of objects surrounding them. They are especially interested in items that are misplaced on the street, such as a cone’s formation or the loneliest tree surround by concrete.

The sense they capture may not excite us at first, but when we look at it again, we tend to interpret our own thoughts and emotion into the work. But maybe, it is just what it is, nothing personal, only to the artist themselves.

Onion Peterman will be presenting limited edition screenprints from their latest collection.

SLICE OF LIFE

Definition: “an example of what ordinary life is like” 

(Merriam-Webster)

Remember when you were in your adolescence, and an hour in class felt like it dragged on forever? But when you were having fun doing whatever you liked doing, it felt like no time had passed at all. Everything you felt back then was amplified to the max, seesawing up and down; and that was just a day in the life.

Pearl Law is an illustrator, zine-maker and comic artist. 

 

Hong Kong born and raised, she graduated from University of the West of England with a degree in Illustration. Much of her work takes inspiration from humour, literature, history, and behavioural observations. She loves to play around with visual wit and exploring the best narrative possible through problem-solving. 

 

 

WHAT IS CYANOTYPE?

Discovered in 1842 by an English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel, cyanotype is a photography printing process that produces a cyan print. I can’t say I am an expert, but I will try my best and explain how I’ve done it. First, you mix the two cyanotype solutions together (please follow the product’s instructions). Then coat heavyweight watercolour paper in a dimly lit room. Leave to dry in a dark cupboard overnight or for 24 hours. 

 

 

Meanwhile, think about the image you want to produce. The way I do it is to invert my drawing in Photoshop, then print it onto copier paper / transparent acetate sheet.

Make sure there is enough sunlight before you start to develop (otherwise use artificial UV light). It’s advised that overexposure is always better than underexposure.

Swinging Arms by Le Raclet

31st August - 12th September 2018

"To captivate the imagination is crucial."

 

"The Final End" is Irish artist Justin Larkin's debut solo exhibition in Hong Kong. 

 

The polarised relationship between seeming opposites - modern technology and antiquities, classical art and nature, sense and nonsense, is fascinating, and juxtaposing them can create new interpretations. Carefully removing context from various arrangements of images across different mediums, Justin allows new ideas to emerge. 

 

Justin employs painting, printmaking, and sculpture in his work, but instead of presenting each work individually, Larkin presents this show as an installation in order to create a dialogue between the image compositions. 

 

Building his pieces off of old images, these images removed from their original narrative context, become obsolete in one sense, but also available for re-animation in another. Larkin's pieces truly become his own.

 

Running from 10th-28th of August, Justin will be present at the opening on the 10th of August. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Where We Once Played

By Grace Myers

25 May - 18 June

ODD ONE OUT is proud to present “Where we once played”, an intaglio print exhibition by Australian Printmaker Grace Myers. 

This series explores the childhood and nostalgia and the melancholy passing of time.
Having spent time in China when she was younger, this series has a strong influence of Chinese architecture, mixed with various characters who often feature in her work. These characters view the landscape both from the perspective of a child, contemplative,  but full of wonder and fascination, as well as from a more somber perspective of an adult, coming to see the world as it really is.  
The work from this series was created over two artist-in-residency periods at Guanlan International Printmaking Base in Shenzhen.

This Land Is Your Land
26.10.2017 - 21.11.2017
Opening 26.10.2017 at 7pm

'This Land Is Your Land' by American printmaker Katherine Libretto is inspired by the natural landscape and how humans experience them. This theme became prominent in her work when I noticed the impact of rapid over-development and loss of spacious undeveloped land.
Environment and wanderlust inspire her work as she aims to provide a diversity of landscapes, offering personal narratives. The places that are featured are places she has spent time studying in person, trekking by foot throughout, and driving hundreds of miles to reach.  
After her successful 'Here, There & Everywhere' show in Hong Kong in 2014, this is her second exhibition at ODD ONE OUT.

About Katherine Libretto
Born and raised in New York, Katherine Libretto is a US based printmaker who exhibits regularly in London, Hong Kong & the US. Previously a graphic designer, Katherine moved to London in 2011 to focus on developing her printmaking skills fulltime, obtaining a Masters with Merit from Camberwell College of Art. Since then she has worked prolifically, having taken residencies and exhibited all over the world.
Katherine currently runs and works from Inky Hands Prints Studio in Dallas in the US.

 Clean and sparkling,  
 he’ll see me”

Anna is interested in the casual, everyday objectification of women’s bodies; the way the waist is treated like a moveable sculpture; dressed in garments that cinch to reveal the thinness of the thinnest part, making of the body a tidy shape on which to put some ornamentation - like a vase ready to be painted. This series of paper pulp paintings uses a limited number of shapes at play with one another to create multiple variations that reference fashion, smart-phone screens and the half-tone dot of the printed image.

Her curiosity in making these works was around positive and negative space; the way that the coloured dots seem to vibrate and jump from on the dress to in front of the dress, revealing or obscuring the body. She became fascinated with adding ornament to ornament until it reached a pretty (or ugly) climax.

Quote is from the song, Dress by PJ Harvey, 1991.

 

From this Sunday until mid-September, every weekend we will have live portrait sessions by kylie chan's Illustration from 2-6pm!

Fun, comical and sometimes a little dark, Kylie has exhibited in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, and now you have the opportunity to own a commissioned piece of your own. Portraits are $350.

With every portrait, we will be serving a complimentary drink of your choice from st.francis.st

 

 

 

ODD ONE OUT is proud to present our latest exhibition "Les Contemplations", the latest exhibition from Australian artist Damon Kowarsky.

Starting as sketches while undertaking a residency in the historical French village of Léhon, Damon Kowarsky’s latest exhibition ‘Les Contemplations’ was inspired by long walks through the countryside, thinking about nature and forgotten structures.

Printed in Australia and at the Guanlan Original Printmaking Base in China, Damon’s latest exhibition further demonstrates his versatility while still being able to maintain his very distinct style.

This is his second solo exhibition at ODD ONE OUT, and we are excited to be hosting this exhibition between the 30th of June until the 30th of July.

The exhibition is opening this Friday 30th of June at ODD ONE OUT with a launch event from 7 pm to 9 pm with the artist in attendance. We hope to see you there!

 ODD ONE OUT is proud to be hosting "Down Time", the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong for Charlene Man.

In this exhibition, Charlene explores the themes of stillness and relaxation in defense of laziness. This project (comprised of paintings, screen prints, publications and sculptures) celebrate stillness, quietness and the value of doing nothing.

Practices such as meditation and mindfulness are enjoying a renaissance in the West, where modern lives are goal based, chaotic and often lacking in moments of stillness.

While these practices are ostensibly of Eastern origin, attitudes to personal growth in the East are still characterised by hard work and labour. Through these works, Charlene is exploring and celebrating the moments in between, and the power of relaxation.

Charlene started to become interested in these notions, in contrast to her personal backdrop of hard work and upbringing in a traditional Chinese family, when she realised that her hectic schedule was stifling her creativity and capacity for creating ideas. She was working harder than ever but getting less done. In accepting and embracing moments of quietness, she allowed the seeds of new ideas and ways of thinking to take root. It became apparent that a huge part of personal growth is to give time and space to the quietness.

Charlene is a freelance illustrator based in Hong Kong and London. She has been working on children's book, magazines, window display, mural etc. Her previously client included Laurence King Publishing, ELLE magazine UK & Hong Kong, Art Asia Pacific magazine, TOPMAN, LOFT JAPAN etc. She aims to keep the momentum of “Being happy images” and she enjoys boredom moments and focuses on small thoughts. She is DOWN TIME is a travelling exhibition started in Osaka, Japan, Saga, Japan, and is going to Hong Kong & Taipei.

The exhibition runs from the 4th of November to the 27th of November 2016.

We will be having a grand opening with the artist in attendance this Friday the 4th at ODD ONE OUT, starting at 7pm.
Additionally, from 3-6pm this weekend (5th & 6th) of November, Charlene will be conducting a live 'Lazy Yoga' drawing session.

7th of October - 2nd of November 2016

"This series is a conversation between the artist and the wood. From that a song is born, a song of my journey, my memories".

Her works have been collected by Tama Art University, Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, Kanuma Municipal Art Museum Of Kawakami Sumio .

19th August (FRI) - 18th Sept (SUN)
Opening Reception 19th August 2016 7.30pm - 9pm

Kylie Chan is an illustrator. She specializes in using Chinese calligraphy brushes to ink her designs, creating movement and breathing life into her art. Her work centers on capturing moments - from the mundane to the fantastical, and telling a story through her images.

" I Shoot You, You Shoot Me, I Shoot You Back" is inspiration from her personal life, Kylie infuses her illustrations with complex personalities. A panoramic scene captures a standoff between characters - at once whimsical and nostalgic. A cowboy fights to free his lady-love; and she fights for him. A fighter draws his gun, only to let loose a shower of colorful confetti. A spirit of whimsy permeates these scenes.

Vintage photos, cult movies, and comics play a big part in her work. In this exhibition her zine was inspired by her favorite action movies. Showcasing teamwork in particular - these heroes from across different periods are involved in a colossal gun fight. With bullets flying, dozens of beloved characters fill this landscape participating in this mad melee.

Kylie Chan was graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in London, major in illustration. She currently works for ODD ONE OUT gallery and also publishes an indie magazine, ZINE. She has had her solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. Her illustrations can also be seen in local publications, including Apple Daily, Weekend Weekly, ELLE, what.bookgazine, MMM, boysize, among many others.

作為一個插畫家,Kylie Chan 擅長於以中國水墨手法,將活潑的生命注入作品當中。她將無數或平凡或精釆的瞬間記錄下來,以畫作描述故事。

以生活作為靈感,Kylie 的畫作中充滿不同的人物角色。她一個取境廣闊的畫作系列,捕捉了一場決鬥-一個怪誕而古典嚴肅的畫面-為美人而戰的西部牛仔、同時願意與牛仔並肩作戰的美人、擎槍待發的戰士,合共爆發出色彩班爛的五色彩帶。恢諧的氣氛充滿着整個畫面。

懷舊攝影,邪典電影及漫畫對Kylie 創作有很大的啟發。此次展覽中,其小畫冊取靈感於她最愛的動作電影。不同時期的英雄們一同現身於一場史詩式槍戰,子彈橫飛,在激烈的廝殺中,為人喜愛的角式填滿了畫面的角落。

Kylie Chan畢業於倫敦Camberwell College of Arts,主修插畫。她現時正於ODD ONE OUT 畫廊工作,以及出版獨立雜誌《ZINE》。她曾於香港,中國大陸,日本,台灣及新加坡舉辦個人畫展。她的插畫作品曾被刊登於不同的刊物,包括《蘋果日報》、《新假期》、《ELLE》、《what.bookgazine》、《MMM》、《boysize》及其他出版刊物。

Opening Reception 1st July 7.30pm - 9pm

ODD ONE OUT is proud to be hosting 'Life Is Like A Forest; Love Is Like A Forest’ exhibition created by Argi Chang & Janeni Chen an art duo based in Taichung, Taiwan.

Although living in the city has many advantages, they share a strong fondness for the forest as it allows them to take simple delight in mere observation and individual discovery. The specific nature of the artists’ illustrated journaling, captures the details in nature as they see it unfolding in front of them.

The exhibition of 'Life Is Like A Forest; Love Is Like A Forest' brings together the creative duo's prolific output which includes collaging, screen prints and zines from the last 3 years.

Guillaume Cornet (FR) - Elephant in Hong Kong Exhibition 

ODD ONE OUT are proud to be hosting ‘Elephants in Hong Kong’, the first Hong Kong exhibition for London-via-Paris artist Guillaume Cornet (aka Mr Guil).

Guil’s cityscapes capture elements of life rather than people. After visiting South America and witnessing the activity within the communities in the favelas, Guil returned to London and set out to create his own vision of cities like London, Paris & New York. The clothes hanging from a window, the couple arguing in the kitchen, Guil’s work captures the theatre of everyday life in an interesting, intimate and at times, hilarious way.

Screen printed in monochrome then hand coloured, each piece is truly unique and reflects the mood and season of the artist, each artwork may takes over 100 hours. Using very traditional methods with very little reliance on technology, Guil’s ensures that his work maintains as much character as possible.

Mr Guil is excited to come to Hong Kong and unveil artwork featuring Hong Kong cityscapes for the very first time. Guil’s work featuring Hong Kong perfectly captures the smells, sounds and characters we experience on a daily basis. Mr Guil will be in attendance at the exhibition opening on the 18 of March at ODD ONE OUT, starting at 7pm to 9pm.

 The show will run until 20 of April.

 

An Gee Chan - Stress Me Out Exhibition

19/FEB (FRI) - 15/ MARCH (TUES) 2016

PV 19/FEB 6pm - 9pm

ODD ONE OUT are proud to be hosting Hong Kong artist An Gee Chan’s first home town solo exhibition, ‘Stress Me Out’.


After 9 years in London, and with a Masters in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art and an illustration and animation BA from Kingston University, An Gee returned to Hong Kong in 2013 and set out to find room to work in a city where print making facilities are hard to come by. ’Stress Me Out’ depicts scenes of re-establishing yourself in a place where you thought you were familiar. 

Gravitating towards large scale mono prints, An Gee feels that these allow her to enjoy the best of both worlds by combining printmaking as well as painting. Constantly experimenting and approaching her works in different ways, this exhibition also features some smaller screen prints, being run in editions. Her use of colour and humour in her titles creates a nice juxtapose to the emotions displayed in her work.

An Gee has held solo shows in London as well as participated in group exhibitions in Hong Kong. When she isn’t printing in her extremely well equipped printmaking studio at the JCCAC building, she is teaching printmaking at the Baptist University Hong Kong.

‘Stress Me Out will be running from 19th of February to 15 March, at the ODD ONE OUT gallery. 

The opening on the 19th starts at 6pm to 9pm. An Gee and ODD ONE OUT would love to see you there! We warmly welcome your presence at the opening and would be happy to answer any questions you may have either on the night, or beforehand by contacting the gallery directly.

 Experimental New York born printmaking artist Katharine LiBretto, her first exhibition in Hong Kong. Showing a new series of screenprint created in New York. 

We Hope you can join us for the opening Friday 26th September at ODD ONE OUT, from 7pm to 9pm. The exhibition will be running from 27th of September to 27th of October.


"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.

 

"My practice is fueled by an interest in the coexistence of natural and man-made elements in both rural and urban environments.   Through both observation and imagination, the work views and deconstructs landscapes and cityscapes at a particular point in time, hinting at narratives, but allowing for many possible interpretations.  Along with time, both historical and contemporary, an identity of place is a key characteristic of my work, providing a unique perception and understanding. It offers a composite of real and imagined places, fused into compositions that could be everywhere and anywhere. Some compositions call for the viewer to engage with the subject, and evoke nostalgic associations. 

I experiment with screen printing techniques, developing both clean and illustrative work, recalling my graphic arts roots.  I also create new allusive and gestural effects in my work, using a painterly-print approach.   The experimental way in which I am using screen printing is similar to a painter in a studio, working with a variety of materials, manipulating the flat surface of paper, adding illusion and texture and areas of depth and complexity in multiple layers.  In addition, I experiment with color and application, ink additives (pearlescents and phosphorescents), hybrid techniques, varnishing and gilding, overpainting and underpainting." - Katharine LiBretto

ODD ONE OUT is proud to present “Over There”, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong for Damon Kowarsky.

 

“Over There” will be showing from the 7th of June to the 29th of June with an opening reception with the artist in attendance on 6th June, Friday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Damon will also be running a monoprint printmaking workshop at Odd One Out on 8th June (Sunday) from 15:00 to 17:00 in which we warmly welcome anybody interested in art prints to come along and try their hand at printing themselves.

 

Damon studied printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts and Glasgow School of Art as well as Advanced Figure Drawing with Godwin Bradbeer at RMIT. In 2000 he graduated from VCA with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in Printmaking. The recipient of numerous prizes and awards including a Toyota Community Spirit Artist Travel Award and Collie Trust Scholarship. Since 2009, Damon and his collaborator  Kyoko Imazu with Aesop’s Creative Advisors led varies installation project in Aesop stores in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.

 

Damon Kowarsky is excited and motivated by travel, and has spent much of his artistic career drawing cities and villages, as well as people and artifacts, in North Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. 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.

 

“Over There” is an exhibition of new etchings from his Artist in Residence in Guanlan Original Printmaking Base is 2014 and of people and places from Damon's recent travels.

 

'Over there' is running from the 6th June  until the 29th of June  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 of original art prints and homewares, which have been handcrafted by the artists.

AWWWWWWW is a collaborative works from both of the artists and zine launch. Kylie and Chie are graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in London with a BA Illustration Degree in 2010. The two remind close friends and this is the first time exhibiting and collaborating in Hong Kong.

 

Kylie Chan has been exhibiting in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Kylie has learnt to follow her gut feelings, to allow the sensations of her hand to guide her illustrations. Unmediated by the drafting process, She meditate on the pens series of gestures on the paper. Observing the flow of the ink, the ridges on the paper - the accidental surprises synchronised with her own intention - unfold before eyes.
Chie Miyazaki is an illustrator, working in both Japan and England and currently based in London. Raised in a ceramic studio, she heritage the art of working on cray and she started applying her illustration onto pottery. Naive with a energetic style, all are one off pieces. She enjoys working with clay and the sometimes unexpected shapes it creates. When painting ceramics, she likes try to listen and see what colour the clay itself wants to wear. Chie feels close to her instinct when working in ceramic, bringing a nostalgic feeling of childhood and her background to her work. It makes the process one of complete pleasure!

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
