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.
