Woaw Gallery is pleased to present Sean Gannon’s solo exhibition, I Can’t Wait To Quit My Job, in collaboration with Ramp Gallery. Featuring 11 new works created in the past year, I Can’t Wait To Quit My Job is the Chicago-based artist’s first exhibition in Hong Kong.
Informed by the Chicago Skyline and buildings, as well as the social temperature both macro and micro, Gannon’s paintings incorporate three-dimensionality, fine woodwork, sculptural elements, and transcend the flatness of the canvas. The artist tries to avoid tools and assisting materials while painting, returning the art creating practice to its basic yet most essential form. The woodwork elements in his paintings also recall influences of Chicago Imagist artist Roger Brown and Hiam Steinbach whose works are known for his selection and presentation of objects, the exploration of contemporary consumer culture and their psychic attachments to things.
Gallery address: 5 Sun Street, Wan Chai
