ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The beginning of MY PARTY TIME On my studio table, there lies some clay and tools, a half cup of coffee, some photos and sketches, I closed my eyes and started to ask myself some questions... What can you feel now? Why do always feel disturbed? Is it because the weather? Is it because you are hungry? Or is it because you drank too much last night? Or is it just a feeling of loneliness? Open your eyes, what can you see? where are you now? In a white square space, there is nothing but light. There are only clean white walls and grey cement floor. The light is so bright there but it’s cold. There seems to have a hole or a door on the other side of the wall, let's go find out what it is. It is another clean, white space. At the end of the space, there seems to have another hole or door. Looking through from there, you will see that there is also an entrance like a hole or a door. It goes layer by layer, as if it were another space. But it is in fact a boring gallery. Looking at the layers of identical space, I become more and more disturbed, and my breath becomes heavier and heavier. I want to find someone to help, look at the phone, there is no signal. Only me is there. I walk towards the end of the room and find a big mirror. There is a giant rabbit in the mirror. It has no expression, but was in a daze. Although it is not looking at me, I am still scared. I look back where I just come in, but the door disappears and I don’t know how to leave this space. What I can do is just stand aside and watch it silently. After a while, it to take out a hand puppet from her pocket. It was the rabbit that looks exactly like it. They start talking but I can’t hear it at all. They look over at me from time to time, but it seems that they can't see me. I’m very scared but still stand there watching them. It is a weird and lonely rabbit! When it wants to find someone to talk to, it can only find a puppet, which looks exactly the same as 'itself', to talk to. After a while, it takes out another a hand puppet from its pocket again–a bird this time. It doesn’t mind having friends of different kinds. The two hand puppets start talking to each other and they start dancing together and the party will begin soon...' I like telling stories but not so much explaining stories or works, but I can still happy share with you how this work was started. 2017 winter mr clement

Born in Hong Kong at 1980. moved to London at 2004 and Tokyo at 2016, currently living in Taiwan. mr clement is the artistic pseudonym for my work as a sculptor and painter. My practice often draws inspiration from comics and popular culture however I like playing with paradox and often approach my narrative sculptures and paintings through the lens of the Old Masters. I enjoy finding small and interesting compositional elements in classical art but use a more direct way to express these elements, defined by my own minimalist aesthetic and humour. I have developed this approach as I feel it speaks to my main audience which has grown up with pop music, fast food, comics, TV and similar forms of visual entertainment. The process of discovering recurring themes and hidden meanings in classical artworks not only gives me a new and profound contact with those works of art, Old Masters and even the bygone eras, it also helps extend my imagination, and enriches the stories and personalities of my characters. I want my artwork to communicate complex emotions purely based on their form, without dependence on captions or titles. In my works, there are many allegorical characters in the form of cartoons – my main character LAPIN is a melancholic seeker, which is sometimes depicted through figurative dramatisation. This technique is enriched from my study of classical art, such as how a woman rests her hand across her chest or tilts her head in a Raphael portrait to depict a certain sensibility. I believe having a romantically playful layer in the narrative makes my work special. I like the idea of subverting the boundary between contemporary art and classical art, and creating paradoxes through giving the original work of art new contexts and meanings.
