香港獅語画廊榮譽呈獻「在這門後」, 傑米遜•佩頓與馬克斯•赫克爾的聯展。
是次展覽將會展出一系列對社會和自我成長具抽象視角的作品。當中很多作品靈感源自日常生活, 從中探索一些非常規的繪畫技巧, 型態跟用色均帶出張力。
傑米遜希望透過他的作品去深入研究生而為人的體現, 而每一件都是相互呼應的。他的創作都是圍繞著人類在生命中不斷變化的期望和隨後而來的憧憬。
「 我們之所以能夠成為今天的自己是基於那些曾經作過的決定。生命是其中最有趣的例子之一, 因為它能夠在每個獨立個體之間變化。當我們從生命之中穿梭, 希望能得到所謂的『理想生活』。這一詞從來都沒有一個實質的定義, 而唯一的方法就是對命運裡作過的每一個決定給予信念, 在困苦中尋求糾正的方法, 並希望有一天能夠充分發揮潛能。我試圖透過創作來詮釋自身的經歷, 從視覺上傳達我人生中所質疑過的現實和理想。」
－傑米遜•佩頓
過去, 藝術世界沒有既定架構, 因而令人著迷, 到了今天卻變得高度學術化。馬克斯的創作以本能和直覺感知的取向就這現象提出詰問, 以當代的手法追求自由。
他一直追求能使世人停下來的一條線。他作畫的方式與你看到他的畫作時感受到的並無二致, 同樣急促而帶勁、 整體有排山倒海之勢。可是, 就在當中, 有這麼一條線、 一捺筆、 一個姿態, 令時間突然靜止。
－Nicolina Eklund, 藝術家、 作家, 寫於2018年11月
「我很久以前就培養了每天畫畫的習慣, 這樣能幫助我在腦海裡建立一個資料庫, 紀錄每一個線條、 圖案和所有畫具能創作的東西。我的作品是, 也不是預先構思的, 每一筆都是早已存在腦海中, 就這樣我能夠隨時根據我以往的筆觸去作畫。」

Leo Gallery Hong Kong is delighted to present “The Place Behind Door”, a duo exhibition featuring Jaymerson Payton and Max Huckle.
The exhibition will bring together a selection of artworks presenting an abstract perspective towards society and life experiences. Many of the works are daily-life inspired pieces that explore unconventional painting techniques.
Jaymerson created series of works to amplify the ongoing conversation of his search for understanding within the human experience, each work is in sync with one another. The ever changing expectations for life and what follows is always a center point for the works he creates.
“We become who we are from the choices we have made. The human lifespan is one of, if not, the most interesting example of life that exists on our planet due to its ability to vary between each individual. As we travel through life we attempt to create situations that coincide with our idea of a “good life” but there is no concrete definition to what that actually means. The only hope we have is from the faith we focus on the decisions we make. Carefully concocting a remedy for hardships with the belief that one day we will reach our full potential. In this body of work, I have attempted to translate my life experiences through a plethora of paintings, drawings, and sculptures to visually convey my reality and the ideals I have come to question along this path.”
– Jaymerson Payton
In the past what attracted people to the art world was how unstructured it was. Now it is highly academic. Max Huckle raises questions in this direction with a perceptual style and instinct. This contemporary engagement is a strive for liberty.
Max is looking for that one line that will stop the world. The way he works is the same way you look at his paintings. It is hasty, powerful and overwhelming. But then there is that line, that stroke, that gesture which stops the time. Assembling and dissembling by adding more pieces together or magnifying smaller sections, he plays with dimensions and patterns. Repetition, repetition, then it breaks.
– Excerpt from the article written by Nicolina Eklund, Artist and Writer, November 2018
“I draw everyday, and I draw everyday since a long time. That instantly leads to a big archive in my mind of lines, patterns, shades, shapes, of all the things you can do with a pen, a brush, a charcoal or whatever you use. It’s not unplanned, it’s not planned, it’s both. Every line I do on the canvas I already did earlier, so I can always stick to a line I did before someday.”
– Max Huckle
