Arty Poppy: "The inevitable" by Simon Birch @Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong

If you have read my previous post (By Inspired by Central ), you should have know that I am quite a fan of Simon Birch who is a profound artist relocated from England and has been living in Hong Kong for years. His works are always an inspiration and aspiration to me so how could I miss his new paintings exhibition titled: " The Inevitable " presented at Ben Brown Fine Arts Gallery.

Once again, it was a mind-blowing experience looking at his paintings. The dynamic of the strokes and the energy of the object almost create movement on the canvas. The title of the paintings are so poetic that they are picturing motion in your mind. You would be immersed in his dreamy yet alive canvas... this is why I love SB's works so much.

What also intrigued me is the combination of the colours, most of the painting are mainly composed by few colours but the variation of composition and intensity generate such different effects.

Don't miss out at the other side of the gallery showcasing the pieces from a Brazilian artist Vik Muniz who is best known for recreating famous imagery from old photographs such as historic and cultural people and objects. You could spend hours in front of the artworks and study every little pieces of the collage, together they tell you some stories which are connected with each others.
