The Art of Wu Guanzhong (Speaker: Vincent LEE Kwun-leung)VincentKwunLeungLee
Wu Guanzhong sought for an integration between French Romanticism and Chinese Literati Painting Tradition from both his oil and ink paintings. But, Mao Zedong and the Communist Party disliked his pro-European attempt of Sino-Western aesthetic innovations. Due to the trend of Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong forced Wu Guanzhong to abandon what he learnt in Paris and re-adapt to the "Leninist School of Realistic Thought". But, Wu Guanzhong refused to do so. Fortunately, the colonial government of Hong Kong under British administration tried all its best to preserve Wu Guanzhong's pieces and ensure him with creative freedoms. Wu Guanzhong could thus explore a great variety of new styles while playing with his moisturized ink leisures, such as Post-Impressionism, Rococo, Abstract Expressionism, Feminism and Minimalism.

Abstract Art
The literal meaning of abstract art is 'NON FIGURATIVE ART'. It is also called object neutral art. There is no real depiction of any shape in object neutral art. In the language of art it is called abstract art. Abstract art took its form after thousands of years of creative journey. Abstraction art started from the external form of the object situation by converting its direct visible sense into object neutral.
According to abstract art in Encyclopedia of World Art - "See Cubism and Futurism; European Modern Movements; Expressionism; Non objective Art." What is it?
The feeling of beauty of non-objective shapes is not a new concept, although non-objective art has been considered an important contribution of the 20th century. The artists of ancient times had also experienced that the beauty and strength of the artwork is obtained only from the non-objective qualities. Thus, in the history of art, the artist has always had a dual approach, on the one hand the idea of architectural analogy for the purpose of subject-rendering and on the other hand the idea ofdevelopment of non-objective qualities with the aim of increasing the power of beauty and expression. The separation of both the viewpoints was inevitable and it was in this separation that neutral art was born.
The artwork is of that particular period in which the abstract shapes of the artwork have been painted with the most beautiful techniques. An effort is made by the artist to bring beauty in the creation of the artwork. Its quality is considered the best in the technique of artwork. In abstract art, the subject matter is not given special attention. Mainly, special emphasis is given on the depth of its beauty. Abstract art has its own technique which is prevalent in the modern art world for its uniqueness. Abstract art has been adopted by the artists because there is freedom to give aesthetic in it; various techniques are used to express their creative expressions. The abstract form in object neutral art provided immense possibilities to beauty. Tireless efforts were made to make the expression beautiful in abstract art. This art created a new awakening among beauty lovers with its fame. Even in aesthetics, abstract art became famous as its special creation. Even in primitive art, the sense of objectivity has been special in the form of beauty in painting. Even in modern art, the sense of objectivity has been included in the artwork. Before abstract art, the sense of objectivity remained hidden in the womb of beauty creation.
Kandinsky and Mondrian are given the place of pioneers of object-oriented art, although object-oriented art was the culmination of an idea revolution going on in the art field for a long time. Kandinsky painted his first abstract painting in water colors in 1910. At that time, such an awakening had arisen with the idea ofobjectivity that different artists independently created objectivity artifacts.

In 2015, she's progressively experienced with bigger surfaces extending her work from simple art on wall to deeper wall preparation and creation of a unique universe in a neighborhood, considering the architectural components and audience.
In Phnom Penh she's relentlessly practiced with all sorts of walls’ states making her a true muralist.
Her work which started with abstract organic shapes has extended to comics pop figurative scenes sometimes flirting with political art with works like 'Love Bomb' a positive work made in Brussels after the attacks.
For 2016 Anthea Missy has extended her skills to graphic design with intense training in Photoshop, Illustrator and Final Cut in order to multiply the diversity of media for her art, thus being the sole designer of her art from inception to production.

Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery (Calle Madera, 23. Madrid. Spain) hosts the
first solo show in Europe of Dubai based artist UBIK (India, 1985).
\'’Dissident\', a show that perverts with black humor and satire the
classic codes of propaganda. A crossword trying to resolve the Israel-
Palestinian conflict, bottles of Coca-Cola serving as Molotov cocktails
or a shirt with revolutionary marketing guidelines. A personal view on
the absurdities of the world order with which UBIK expected to infuse
and spread his "own brand of propaganda." So defined by the artist,
"post-recession anarchist tendencies that make people smile ... or
shake."
\'Dissident\' - solo show Ubik - dossier prensaSabrina_Amrani
La galería Sabrina Amrani acoge la primera exposición en Europa del
artista afincado en Dubai UBIK (India, 1985). Se trata de Dissident,
una muestra que pervierte con humor negro y sátira los clásicos
códigos de la propaganda. Crucigramas que tratan de resolver el
conflicto palestino, botellas de Coca-Cola que sirven de recipiente a
cócteles Molotov o una camiseta con las pautas del marketing revolucionario.
Una visión personal sobre los absurdos del orden mundial
con la que UBIK espera infundir y difundir su “propia marca de propaganda”.
Así la define el propio artista: “tendencias anarquistas postrecesión
que hacen a la gente sonreír… o temblar”.
La exposición colectiva ’Cuerpos’ reúne a tres artistas del Norte de África, Amina Benbouchta (1963, Marruecos), Zoulikha Bouabdellah (1977, Argelia) y Nicène Kossentini (1976, Túnez) con el tema central de la identidad de la mujeres en el mundo árabe y la influencia de occidente sobre ellas.

Sabrina Amrani Abstraction Contained En
1. ‘Abstraction contained’
Waqas Khan
From June 6th to 21st July at Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery, Madrid (Spain)
Mantaining his pulse, dot by dot. Travelling over each pore of the paper
with a precision pen as his only ally. This is how the pakistani artist works.
Waqas Khan is the protagonist of the show ‘Abstraction Contained’,
with which Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery celebrates its first anniversary.
Khan’s proposal updates the south asian miniaturist tradition so the
retina of the viewer can endlessly dance on the works. With a whole lot
of concentration, patience and dedication, the pakistani reveals what is
beyond the visible world.
2. Khan was captivated by Bardhakhat technique, base of the Mughal
miniaturistic painting, while he was studying at the National College of
Art of Lahore (Pakistan). It is a milenary method of crafting the drawings
dot by dot with a thin brush made of squirrel hair. The surface is always
the same: wasli paper, a multilayer handmade paper with natural glue
that contains copper sulphate, which prevents the work from eating
paper bug attacks and guarantees perdurability. Of a smooth touch, its
grain is almost imperceptible because it is polished with a shell or
stone.
After adquiring the technique, Khan challenged himself to update it:
“I commited myself to use a Rotring 0.1 Rapido, a high precision tool
used in architecture. In this way, the technique was travelling from the
static into the organic: the pen weights a lot and I have to use both
hands firmly to prevent any error in the process, that would be fatal”,
he remarks.
The concentration required by the artist is so high that he knows every
pore of the paper where he works: “And each pore knows the pressure
that my hand applies to them, that is different in each dot, mark or line”,
he adds.
The fruits of this work are compositions with which Khan is “trying to
surprise the viewers, commit to them and connect with them”.”I always
wanted that the viewer’s retina to dance endlessly on my works. I want
the viewers to stop before the work for a while, so they can think about
patience, joy or beauty. In other words, I wanted them to experiment a
trip to infinity with the body”, says the artist.
Spheres, lines and connections composed of hundreds of thousands of
dots, marks and lines. A work that does not let the artist escape not a
single night in months. “There is not a previous study, the shape comes
out by itself. I give freedom to the surface”, he explains. The final result is
a visual narration, told by Khan, that reveals what is lying after the world
that is perceptible to the human eye. “The way I see it, this process is
basically a personal experience”, he concludes.
3. Four months and twenty days. 16 hours a day.
While he works in a new work, the life of the artist is reduced to the
creative process. He dedicates up to 16 hours a day, rotating the surface
of paper so the work begins in the same point where it ends: ”The start
is in the end, the end in the beginning”, describes Khan.
He looks into the work, takes a breath, draws one or two dots over the
surface, separates from work to exhale and then inhale to start all over.
“This work requires a great focalization of energy. I am not sure if in five
years I’ll have the phisical strengh required to use this technique”. And
he is feeling it already: for Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery he has created his
bigger work ever. It is Closer, that represents an sphere of 1 meter
diameter. It is a work that required three months and twelve days to
achieve. 16 hours a day. For the creation of the whole Abstraction
Contained show, Waqas required four months and twenty days.
Testing the technique, live
On Saturday 9th June, from 10.00 to 14.00 hours, Waqas Khan will
give a workshop at Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery to explain his technique.
The participants will learn how to ellaborate wasli paper and the way to
hold the Rotring pen. After that, each participant will receive a sheet of
paper and a pen to put to the test their own ability and creativity.
4. Sabrina Amrani, first anniversary
When they begun this adventure, Sabrina Amrani and Jal Hamad stood
up to develop a galleristic project focused on proposals that invite to
reflect about the individual, society and space. Works and artists that
are openly demanding dialogue. And, without forgetting about other
realities, they focused their view on the art that is emerging in North
Africa, Middle East and South Asia.
This first year, they have collaborated again with Zoulikha Bouabdellah
an algerian artist who inaugurated the gallery a year ago with her show
Mirage, a personal vision about the Arab Spring; with Elvire Bonduelle;
with Younes Baba-ali, recently awarded with the Léopold Sèdar Senghor
Prize at Dakar Biennial; with Amina Benbouchta, with Nicène Kossentini,
and with the indian artist with residence in Dubai, UBIK.
They have participated in JustMad3, Top25 Art Fair Casablanca and are
preparing now their disembark in Beirut Art Fair, so they have been in art
fairs in three different continents in just one year of life. And they have
found a place in the social media, giving the opportunity to set tight
relations with the MENASA region. It gave them also the opportunity to
compose another way to bring art closer to the public. Their action El
mejor País – developed with the collaboration of national newspaper
El País – is a good example. Hundreds of users came to see and
participate in the performance of Elvire Bonduelle and participated in
the final production of the work, a newspaper made out only of good news.
5. Video Diary of Abstraction Contained.
From April 24th until mid-June Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery will be

Abstraction Contained show up, from the creation of the artwork, to
