Infinite & Inconceivable Lust
Infinite & Inconceivable Lust
This spring, The Opposite House is pleased to welcome “Infinite & Inconceivable Lust”, an exhibition of ceramic sculptures created by artist Yvan Deng. By bringing his fashion aesthetic together with traditional Chinese artefacts, this body of work inspires dialogue between the past and present, which in turn sparks a conversation for the future. The installation opens for public viewing in the Atrium of The Opposite House on February 22, 2022.
The artwork offers allegorical interpretations of eight willow leaf vases that symbolise the infinite. Together the vases work together as a canvas, with calligraphy selected from the ancient Chinese poem “The Goddess of the Luo River” adorned across the back and two dragons, representing two individuals and their fight to be together regardless of gender, across the front.
A pink and red colour scheme is employed to relieve the seriousness of the imagery and poetry and encourage a positive and light-hearted experience for the viewer. The exhibition invites the audience to reflect on their relationships and to ruminate on whether our lives are pre-determined or a creation of our own making.
