BEYOND THE NOW AWAY FROM HERE
WU CHI TSUNG Studio - Taipei Dangdai art fair, Taipei

Wu Chi-Tsung Studio is delighted to present “Beyond the Now, Away from Here”, a collaboration between our Artist-in-Residence Saverio Tonoli and Wu Chi-Tsung. In the exhibition, an official side project of Taipei Dangdai Art Fair, Saverio will be showing his new artworks created during the three-month residency. The title pays tribute to the shared interest of the two artists that merges the aesthetics of the East and the West and reinterprets traditional and contemporary art forms. 

“What if art came into being differently…?” The exhibition allows the audiences to rethink the nature of materials such as Xuan paper, ink, fresco and cyanotype, to consider its origin, and to discover the possibilities of fusing styles and cultures. Differ from typical white-cube exhibition spaces, the exhibition takes place at Wu Chi-Tsung studio where both artists work. Sketches, materials and artworks are scattered around the studio from the ground floor to the rooftop providing a vertical journey that shows the artists’ experiment and working process to the public. During his residency, Saverio has been working on his poetic imagery between painting and sculptures, testing local Xuan papers, with the expertise of Fenko Catalysis Chamber, by generating comprehensive solutions to the relationship between Tonoli's needs and exclusive preservation paper materials for storing protection. Along with the creation of special plasters for his fresco paintings. Through understanding customer needs and apply this insight across their works to identify and implement the new ideas and strategies necessary to succeed.
