DIRECTOR’S FORWARD
The Cat Street Gallery Annex is excited to announce the return of artist Antoinette Wysocki for her POP-UP exhibition at our Aberdeen Annex. Wysocki, a native New Yorker, returns to Hong Kong for her second show with The Cat Street Gallery, highlighting her extraordinary form of expressionist painting with works like: Warm Impermanence and DisOriental. Her latest series of paintings reflect on the Buddhist’s beliefs of ‘Impermanence’ where nothing on this earth is ever free. Wysocki uses reoccurring imagery such as skulls and the lotus flower to emulate inspiring textiles and landscapes. Wysocki investigates saturated colours, softening their existence through the interplay of brush stroke and detail of form. Controlled flat black lines give way to drips from action painting, making for movement in each piece. Having completed a BA in Fine Arts and Painting at San Francisco Art Institute, Wysocki has exhibited widely around the world including galleries in New York, London, and Dubai.
