Solo show by Australian - Korean artist Jaedon Shin whose vividly colourful paintings draw our attention to the alienation of man in modern society. Shin paints impassive and emotionally inaccessible figures paused, or frozen in time, in liminal spaces or places of humdrum and limited transaction - in a subway, an almost deserted cafe, an empty market or playing the pokies.
His lurid, flat almost tropical settings are at odds with the anonymity, and cheerlessness of his people. Shin says "I do not hesitate to use raw colour directly from colour tubes", colours so vivid they "seem to hurt eyes" to highlight the sometimes meaningless and monotony of human life, particularly of " common people who are powerless and never truly free, living their lives patiently and stoically as a mere speck at an infinitesimal point in time within the landscape of the long course of history".
