Hanart TZ Gallery is pleased to present “To Paint the Written World”, duo exhibition of Christian Schwarzwald and Kurt Chan, opening on 8 July 2023 (Saturday), 2–6 pm.

‘Word’ is the carnal flesh of ‘Idea’; and like any carnal existence, it begets ideas of its own.

‘Word’ is the idea of things, events, desires—of all that exists and that is yet non-existing; it puts everything in place, and a World appears. Human ideas arise out of word realities. It is all wonderfully delirious, and wonderfully delicious.

The paintings of Christian Schwarzwald and Kurt Chan take the flesh of the word, its visual aspect, as the subject of their playful imagination. They are both interested in how the written word evokes particular realities; and how, as a graphic form, it inadvertently spills over into channels of unintended meanings and visions. With the two artists coming together in one exhibition, their separate languages allow us to see with multiple pairs of eyes.

Artist’s Reception:    8 July 2023 (Saturday), 2–6 pm

Gallery address: 2/F Mai On Industrial Building, 17-21 Kung Yip Street, Kwai Chung
