Woaw Gallery is pleased to present the work of Los Angeles-based American artist Grant Levy-Lucero in Value, his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.
Starting from abstract notions to tangible images, Grant adopted patterns representing an idea that allows the general public to subconsciously relate to a specific commercial brand. Ceramic vases involve the entanglement of being functional, decorative and a symbol of wealth throughout history. In this exhibition, Grant applied a variety of approaches using mass-produced daily commodity brands, luxury goods, and abstract images to explain the meaning of "value" from several different layers and perceptions. Grant used a Western perspective that discovered the ordinary value through the most intuitive way of recapping the international commercial brands emphasizing the everyday lives and experiences, while showcasing the necessities as the basic ingredients of evolution in Chinese culture. The luxury brand became a lifestyle and visions of the good life also inevitably interpreted out of context as symbolic of wealth.
