Livy Leung & Isabella Mandelli: In Search of Fantasia

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Galerie Koo is delighted to announce a joint exhibition “In Search of Fantasia” by Hong Kong artist Livy Leung and
Italian artist Isabella Mandelli.

Art in a variety of mediums embodies the artist’s personal vision and imagination, conveying touching stories and composing beautiful melodies. Through different mediums, artists translate their objectivity and sensuality into their creations, interestingly enough, both artists coincidentally offered different perspectives of the world as they see it.

“In the process of creation, daily imaginations and fantasies are transformed into the work. As a result, it resonates strongly with the viewer and is therefore deeply rooted in their hearts.”

Mismatched elements in daily life have always intrigued Livy to construct a world between reality and personal fantasy. She recomposes her thoughts towards different observations and amplifies her imaginary world as a form of expression and self-indulgence within her art practice.

As an artist, Isabella exercises her creativity immersed in a childlike bubble made up of harmony and fantasies. A chaotically peaceful explosion of watercolour shades; transparent bubbles as an ideal representation of our world; the dynamically harmonious equilibrium between nature and other fantastic creatures: are some of the core elements of Isabella’s works, which made her paintings instantly recognizable.
