A special artist's reception for Chris Rekrutiak's solo exhibition, I love Dream & Romance, is to start this Saturday.

After living and working as a ceramic artist in China for several years, Chris Rekrutiak found paper cuts, a traditional form of folk art in China, as another medium through which he could express his artistic vision and talent. Paper cut artists use a unique fold-and-cut technique to illustrate their daily lives, folklore and religious beliefs. Chris uses this same technique but adds a different dimension and meaning - his work is about modern life and cultural dynamics.

The works present a provoking visual reference to "everything-and-anything-goes" pop culture, which has made its way into a transforming society such as China and fused with traditional aesthetics.
