Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present “Pink and Yellow”, a solo exhibition by Amsterdam-based artist Peter Orsag, a.k.a. Digestor. This will be his debut solo exhibition internationally.
Known for his portrayal of pop icons, in particular with characters from “The Simpsons” being his favourite muses, Peter has gained a strong following on Instagram. The exhibition title, “Pink and Yellow”, distills the essence of Peter’s iconic portraits, which the artist re-contextualises to evoke specific emotions. Using a purist approach to his work, in which every line, colours and elements in his thoughtfully composed pieces all add to the final message and emotion the artist intents to portray, Peter’s works exude a sense of profound simplicity that viewers can immediately relate to.
A self-taught artist, Peter’s works feature in many private art collections worldwide. The exhibition will run from 2 April - 21 May 2022 at Art Projects Gallery Hong Kong.
ARTIST STATEMENT
"I like to focus on expressing emotions - each of my paintings starts off with an idea of a specific feeling that I want to portray, quite often a reflection of my own current mood. Even though I always use familiar TV characters, they are only used as a medium and I want the viewer to be captured by the dominant emotion even if they are not familiar with the backstory.”
藝途畫廊榮幸呈現駐阿姆斯特丹藝術家Peter Orsag；又被稱為”消化者，Digesto”r的首次國際性個人展覽《粉紅與黃》。
Peter Orsag以流行文化象徵為主題，透過以卡通人物辛普森的形象創造出不同畫面和情景。展覽《粉紅與黃》概恬了Peter作品的精粹，透過再語境化卡通角色的情景來引起特定情感。純粹而言，其作品的每一線、每一色塊及元素均經深思熟慮，用以交代其作品的意境及情感。同時以極簡約的元素使觀眾能與作品之間作出對話。
Peter Orsag是一名自學成才的藝術家，其作品多被私人收藏，藏家遍佈世界各地。是次展覽將於藝途畫廊舉行，展期由2022年4月2日開放至5月21日。
藝術家自白
我的作品傾向表現個人情感；我一般都從一個感覺的概念出發，反映當下的感受。我的作品以熟悉的電視角色作為媒介，我希望觀眾即使不熟悉背景故事，也能感受到作品的主要情緒。
