Wars, natural disasters and personal worries are never ending. We are constantly hurt and sometimes we want to cover our ears. But all we can do is continue praying that each time the difficulties will pass, and we can rise back up. I painted a girl folding paper cranes with a wish in mind.

Zhou Haige
Zhou Haige (China) graduated in fine arts from the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in 1983. He was former associate editor-in-chief of Jiangsu Fine Arts Publishing House and director of the Watercolor Research Society, Nanjing Artists Association. His ink and watercolour works were exhibited in UK and China including the recent exhibition at the National Art Museum in China.
Zhou Haige’s ink painting does not stay on subject depiction but turns to pure form by taking initiative to go beyond objective things. The dots and lines drawn by ink in his works almost completely give up attempt of explanation, upgrade to super-logic state and become self-independent, expressive elements, establishing a spiritual world of pure abstract ink language.

Li Fuyuan(b.1942)
Li Fuyuan was born in Kunming, China and attended the Beijing Art Academy. He was later appointed a lecturer at the Beijing Art Professional College whilst continuing with his own personal style of art. A disciple of the world renowned artist, Wu Guanzhong, his works have been exhibited successfully in the UK, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Recent exhibitions include the 20/21 International Art Fair, London 2011 and the much acclaimed, Animal Kingdom:Paintings by Li Fuyuan at the Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, UK 2010. Several of his paintings were put under the hammer at Sotheby’s including Lot 1408, The Owls sold at more than 3 times the estimated price in April 2011 at Sotheby’s Hong Kong.
Art critic and Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Arts, Zhai Mo, commented, ‘The dark coloured birds, fishes and animals came alive under his brush one after another. His paintings appear to be lively and bold, giving little attention to forms.The bold use of black and white, rich and strong colours are commonly found in Li Fuyuan’s paintings. To ensure the quality of the colours, he never mixes black ink with colours when painting. But he likes to put heavy black ink against the bright colours to create contrast, allowing them to support, embrace and complement each other.
To be bold and yet in control when creating, finding balance and calmness when emotions run wild is the hallmark of a great artist.’

Statement
Jaykoe’s work explores globalisation through its accelerated impact on city space. Operating at the intersection of urbanisation, postcolonialism and interculturalism, urban-spatial movements are sampled and traced within densely populated and expanding cities. Drawing is the foundation of the work, overlaid with an interdisciplinary approach ranging through sculpture, installation, neon, painting, printmaking, video and books.

Seung Pyo HONG
employs a unique style of editioned metal plate etchings, hand coloured in oil paint, based on the functionality of humans, animals and machines. Hong’s works depict fictional inventions in a very graphic style, through which he explores the relationship between human evolution and the development of technology. These bright works, directly etched and coloured onto steel plates, focus on the potential fusion of organic matter and machine. This is a futuristic sentiment, used as a motif in sci-fi throughout the 20th Century. Referencing this, Hong uses retro machinery and characters from the 60’s and 70’s highlighting aspirations from the time fused with scientific development of more recent years. In his odd but fascinating scenes, the viewer is almost left as a detective, working out what a piece of machinery is for, what the characters are playing out and where the the scene is set. One is reminded of scenes from ‘Prisoner’ due to the works retro, colourful and mystical feel. However, very modern ideologies are at play here. Ecology, consumption and evolution are at the core of these works. Hong reflects on the future of the human race beyond the next century, in particular the advancement of potential biological connections to technology. Hong considers, “In the future, I imagine that humans will evolve dependent on their own desire rather than the selection of nature. It will be very creative much as nature is”, his works are an exploration of these ideas.
Hong grew up in South Korea and studied Printmaking at Hongik University, Seoul and completed his BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths in 2009. He has shown in the UK and Korea most recently at the Arco Art fair, Feria de Madrid in 2011 and the Cais Gallery in Hong Kong. Recent exhibitions include RHIZOSPHERE an exhibition of South Korean artists at the Oxo Tower and an exhibition at the South Korean Embassy. Seung Pyo Hong has works in private and public collection throughout Korea, Japan and London, most notably the Government Art Collection.

Statement:
I am a process painter and my work evolves and comes into being through a combination of factors driven by the painting process.This process requires a series of decisions which include the choice of type and colour of paint, the method of application, application time and drying time and the variety and frequency of my interventions during the process. Depending upon the chosen medium and its inherent properties, all these processes are mutable and open to the play of chance and the exigencies of time. My images are ‘littered with incident’ and although I exert a degree of control in order to facilitate these ‘incidents’, their consequences are very much open to the play of chance and their history becomes a fascinating series of encounters between control and chance, between the ordered and the arbitrary. It is this tension between the appearance of order arrived through the surrender to spontaneity and chance that gives these works a certain torsion.

Le Ronghua
Born in China in 1971, he began to shoot his first black and white picture since 1989. In 1998, he decided to go on a discovery journey by travelling through Taklamakan, the largest desert in China. Over five years, he covered more than 20,000 kilometres across Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang province including a walk through the hazardous Luobubo (Lopnor) area, made famous by Sven Hedin’s expedition.
Ronghua came to the UK to study English in 2003 followed by a MA course at the University College of Creative Arts at Rochester. His tutor, Kevin Leggett wrote in his reference letter about his ideas and experiences as follow:
In photography, what I want to present is not merely a visual depth but a depth of reflection. I try to present a complete and sophisticated structure on the basis of a singular symbol. I hope to penetrate through its form and space in order to exclude it from its own blankness and depression. In some degree, I’m more fascinated by the solidity and fluidity of the colour.
In my creating, I tend to manipulate those photographic elements – lines, light, colour, form, composition as such to break down the temporal order in exposure with fractural combinations. I feel the need to deny the visual tradition of objective representation and realistic presentation. By the juxtaposition of the transforming of colour and form with my control of the exposure time, I try to decompose the significance of the original subject and replace it with a refreshed visual experience. Behind this detriment of the significance of the original subject, is an incentive to break from the bondage and chains around my reason. Of course, all these are to be done under the operation of light. And this attempt to decompose the temporal continuity in my photographic practice only coincides with the artistic strategy in modern painting to deconstruct and reconstruct the form and presentation. Yet what we can experience in a certain art work often has its own impulse or even vitality to break through the original creation itself.
