This exhibition goes a small way to displaying the vast cultural landscape of Asian art. The artistic output of this immense continent ranges from Japanese woodcuts, Indian silk paintings, ancient sculptures and contemporary photography. Few places on earth inspire and invigorate quite as deeply as Asia and anyone lucky enough to have visited will vouch for the incredible sensory explosion of this group of unique and intriguing nations. This variety is evident in this collection of artworks, whether it is in the Japanese style prints in pink and orange of Michael A. Wright, or Lawrence Briand's intense pencil sketches of a Kyoto street scene. Lovers of colour should look no further than the Geisha painting of Alla Dzevaltovsky which glows in a riotous smash of scarlet and inky blue. The peace of a tea room is shown wonderfully in the art work of Katherine Jenkins while the iconic pagoda buildings are inspiration for the superb sculpture of Oliver Creed. Moving away from Japan, the street photography of John Harper captures the energy and simplicity of daily life in the Nepalese capital, while the portraits of Hansmartin Petzal show the innocent beauty of Indian children playing and posing idyllically. Anyone still not convinced by the range of work on display here should look directly into the eyes of Kash Gabriele's photo of the sage-like Baba. He is the real deal. Take some time today and explore this exotic and fascinating landscape with this LondonArt exhibition. by Alan Perkins for more information contact Paul on paul@londonart.co.uk or call us on 020 7738 3867 |   |
