SONGS OF THE CITY: Michael Lee and Olivier PinFat (October 13 - December 31 2011 at H Gallery)

H Gallery is very pleased to announce an exhibition of two artists who explore the urban environment in radical contrast. Singapore-based Michael Lee creates cool, analytical renderings of lost, destroyed and impossible cities which examine these sites as sources of individual desires, fantasy and collective memory and need. Olivier Pin-Fat’s photographs of his adopted home of Bangkok are inflected by drug-induced visions, a profound sense of the animistic, and disruptions of the photographic surface. While Lee dissects ethereal knowledge of places and spaces, Pin-Fat registers the outer reaches of subjective experience. At some point, the works of both artists meet.
