CHARBON presents the first solo exhibition of artist Raphaële de Broissia in Hong Kong.
"Sinuosité" -a new series of textile and paper assemblies- roots its inspiration in the streets of Hong Kong :
"The Hong Kong fish-drying tradition is very conspicuous in Sheung Wan, where I live. It reminds me of a technique I developed in 2012 while at school Les Beaux Arts in Paris. It is based upon latex balloons and masking tape. I use this very organic material, which is somehow both textile and bas-relief, in various ways. I sew into it fabric pieces which creates a coral-like patchwork and emphasizes the innate marine quality of the pleated tape. I also treat ribbons as calligraphy lines and juxtapose them on different kinds of watercolor paper to reach a more structured graphic expression."
