Animalopolis is the newest show by Kristian Adam feat. Mandy Tsung supporting artists Shwa, Fia Cooper, Emily Beaulieu, Taka Sudo & Megan Majewski.
This is a stunning show with beautiful works by all artists. Kristian Adam's collection of works are truly fantastic. They are such expressive pieces with incredible attention to detail with all of his characters. They are featured alongside words by M. S. T. Company in Crow Toes Quarterly. They are outwardly innocent creatures yet when you look a little closer there is a dark side to each piece which is so cleverly portrayed. I could spend hours studying each piece and each time you go back to look again another feature or layer pops out to you. Kristian's talent is boundless.
Mandy Tsung's portraits have a beauty which she captivates so perfectly. Each face has an innocent yet are also very sexually alluring. They are of the temptress, the lover, the angel and she incorporates many animal features which bring such diversity to what could be a very ordinary portrait. Her use of watercolour on wood brings each piece to life as you feel each and every line and detail of the wood itself. It brings them to life.
All the supporting artists were very well matched and I felt that the exhibition was an amalgamation of styles both complimentary and quite different yet it worked out with a wonderful strength and integrity.
Check out the exhibition in the Ayden Gallery in the Tinseltown mall, Vancouver and you can find all details on www.aydengallery. com
