WHITE WALLS PRESENTS 'FOUND' - THE NEW YORK SOLO EXHIBITION DEBUT BY UK-BASED ARTIST 'HUSH', NOVEMBER 19-21, 2010

Opening Reception at ANGEL ORENSANZ FOUNDATION, FOR CONTEMPORARY ART Friday November 19, 2010, 7-10PM

NEW YORK, November 1, 2010 – White Walls is pleased to present Found, the New York debut exhibition by UK-based artist, Hush. The artist continues his examination of the vitality and transient nature of mark making, tagging and graffiti. Transitioning these street art practices to the studio setting, the artist creates a body of work that brings to light the essence of “action painting” and “pure expressionism”.

The new collection of work is comprised of 25 mixed-media works ranging from small to large sized pieces and installation, and a limited edition hand embellished print (50). The momentous three-day event is produced by renowned San Francisco gallery, White Walls, a recognized leader in the Urban Contemporary genre on the West Coast.

The opening reception for Found will be held at THE ANGEL ORENSANZ FOUNDATION, FOR CONTEMPORARY ART on Friday, November 19, 2010 from 7–10PM located on 172 Norfolk Street, New York City, New York. The exhibition will be on display Saturday, November 20 through Sunday, November 21 from 12pm-5pm and is free and open to the public.

Having originally trained as a graphic designer and illustrator at Newcastle School of Art and Design, Hush’s art practice has taken him throughout Asia, Europe and the USA, while simultaneously developing his prominence as a contemporary artist. His immersion in a diversity of cultures has informed his work, largely recognized for its portrayal of the timelessness of the female form while infusing cross-cultural influences and variant genres within Urban Contemporary art.

A distinguishing facet of Hush’s work is the complexity of his technique that combines various street approaches with traditional art practices. Through the use of opposing themes and aesthetics, the artist presents contemporary depictions of traditional portrait and figurative imagery. Hush seeks to capture the beauty that years of decayed tagging can create and magnify the value of these actions through his contemporary paintings. The artist’s canvases mimic city walls once adorned with wheat pasted images, tags and painting that, over time, are repeatedly layered upon image after image. The technique for his highly involved mixed-media pieces is an amalgamation of painting, screen printing, spray-painting and collaging. The culmination of the pieces is brought about as the diaphanous layers are strategically torn away to reveal the ultimate vision "letting the canvas and marks take their own path." The central focus of Hush’s work is images of iconic and pop art renditions of the female form, particularly of the geisha and the anime manga.

Found, marks Hush’s New York debut exhibition that deepens his exploration of the resulting emergences brought about by the evanescent quality of street art. Appreciating and identifying the remains of past tags as points of expression, the artist transitions this influence to his work that he refers to as “action painting” or "pure expressionism". In his new collection, Hush remains influenced by the escape from the constraints of traditions, the contrasts between old and new, the past meeting the future and the fusion of Eastern and Western culture. Found follows the success of Passing Through, Hush’s 2010 sold-out solo show with The Shooting Gallery (White Wall’s sister gallery) in San Francisco.
