Huang Po Hsun’s Explosive, Vibrant Acrylic Paintings

Huang Po Hsun’s vibrant, bombastic paintings move between the familiar and the utterly otherworldly. These works, primarily acrylic on canvas, can feel like underwater carnivals or bubbling abstractions. The artist seems to be retrofitting icons from our world into his own flamboyant dreams.

Huang Po Hsun’s vibrant, bombastic paintings move between the familiar and the utterly otherworldly. These works, primarily acrylic on canvas, can feel like underwater carnivals or bubbling abstractions. The artist seems to be retrofitting icons from our world into his own flamboyant dreams.

“They are paintings focus on the relation between the surroundings and one self, with a significant, colorful and bright manner,” Gallery Gladden says.“The constant changes in life and the warm climate in Southern Taiwan may have great impact on the artist. Huang’s work shows a light motion, a quality of quiet loneliness and uncertainties. Furthermore, a tone of warm glamour.”

The artist was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The artist has released series titled “And Rich And Lonely”, “A Blast of Laughter” and “Carnival Ukiyo.” Asian Contemporary Art Buyer lists his consistent themes as “lovers and strangers and a wonderland afar.” See more of what they mean below.

Christian Vincent’s paintings carry whimsy and melancholy, the artist playing with light and perspective in scenes from the everyday. Surrealism is typical in Vincent’s work, yet at varying degrees.

Martin Wittfooth An esoteric concept that fascinated the first Surrealists, an "égrégore" is a sort of mob mentality. Scholar Pierre Mabille defined it as "a group of humans endowed with a personality different from that of the individuals forming it." This concept of collective consciousness was the springboard for Yves Laroche Gallery's eponymous exhibition, the gallery's largest group show to date. With dozens of artists, many of whom are associated with the Pop Surrealist movement, the show builds its momentum from the multitudes of distinct yet complementary aesthetics joined together. Among the line-up are names that will be well-known to our readers: Josh Agle (Shag), Martin Wittfooth, Amy Sol, Joe Sorren, Liz McGrath, Annie Owens (Hi-Fructose co-editor-in-chief), AJ Fosik, Miss Van and many others. Take a look at our sneak peek below before "Égrégore" opens on October 30 at Yves Laroche Gallery in Montreal.
