Rose, Cherry, Iron Rust, Flamingo

Pearl Lam Galleries is proud to present Rose, Cherry, Iron Rust, Flamingo, the first solo exhibition of Ged Quinn (b. 1963, UK), in Asia. Widely regarded as one of the leading painters in Britain, Quinn is renowned for his multi-layered landscape paintings that incorporate art historical subjects and the use of trompe l’oeil to challenge the idea of painting. Inspired by the poetry technique the “ideogrammic method” by the late American poet Ezra Pound, the exhibition title, Rose, Cherry, Iron Rust, Flamingo, alludes to the use of concrete images to create an abstract concept and explores the different expository potentials of image making central to our reading of painting itself.
