Description
The theme of this summer's annual reviews issue is 'place': specifically, how
a sense of 'place' might be articulated by a work of art, and how artists can
negotiate a responsiveness to place whilst making their works accessible to
a potential international audience. Taisuke Edamura reviews the work of a
Ikeda Ryutaro, a Japanese landscape painter resident in the UK, focussing
on how the specifities of place effect his paintings, executed in the verdant
pastoral settings of rural Japan and the Cotswolds. Ming Turner discusses the
work of Taiwanese artist Deng Wen-Jen, whose richly detailed and brightly
coloured multi-media 'paintings' offer a feminist critique of Taiwanese culture.
Peter Davidson reviews the recent Art Fair Tokyo - delayed on account
of the Tohoku earthquake - and asks how local context can or should inform
the international art fair. Majella Munro visits the Lahd Gallery in London,
which is dedicated to promoting the work of artists from across the Middle
East and the Gulf region internationally, examining the diversity of practice
presented in their recent exhibitions. Anthony Elliot analyses Frank Vigneron's
I Like Hong Kong, considering the historiographic and methodological
issues that focus on a single place may entail. The issue concludes with an
Artist's Portfolio presenting the work of Hangzhou-based painter Zhou Yilun,
whose witty, allegorical works juxtapose indigenous animal life to the urban
environment.
