The Opposite House is pleased to welcome ‘The Empty Skin’, a collection of basswood sculptures created by artist Jiang Long encourages viewers to consider the connections between appearances and internal identity. The installation will be opened to the public for viewing in the lobby until 18 March.
The group of 6 pieces represent that everyone has their own skin, the only difference is – is there a heart inside this skin, or has the skin forgotten its heart? There is no doubt that every skin, no matter what its texture, encloses a heart. So a skin can refuse to believe in its own heart – it can forget its heart – but a living, waking heart can’t deny its own skin.
The Opposite House collaborates with Red Gate Gallery and presents a wide variety of art installations to support established and up and coming local artists in a wide variety of creative mediums.
