SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"DISQUIET\"
DESCRIPTION:OPENING PARTY - Wednesday 4th of February 2015 from 6 unti
 l 8\nG1 CONTEMPORARY by H GALLERY\n\nDISQUIET\nNew paintings by Will K
 lose\n\nFebrurary 4 – March 31, 2015\nH Gallery is very pleased to a
 nnounce Will Klose’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, a new s
 eries of the British artist’s most conceptually sophisticated painti
 ngs to date. Klose settled with his family in Bangkok in recent years 
 and his previous works explored the strange anonymity of the city's in
 frastructure and benign sense of alienation and quiet dramas of domest
 ic life in a foreign place. This new series is a stylistic departure w
 hile continuing to study his relationship to evolving personal history
 . Disquiet are a set of deceptively realist narratives unfolding on su
 burban London streets, of the type where Klose grew up, and evoke meta
 phors of the familiar made strange as a means for Klose to continue to
  trace his continuing sense of dislocation. A tacit context is what it
  would mean to directly comment on Thailand in the current political c
 limate and hence Klose values ambiguity.\nThe scenarios in Disquiet ar
 e compellingly enigmatic. Men in protective uniforms closely examine t
 he details of a footpath; an incongruous group gathers in a cordoned a
 rea, curiously conferring in view of bland semi-detached homes; a figu
 re falls dramatically; intimate exchanges between couples can be disce
 rned; and subtle and extreme disturbances occur, birds swoop and black
  smoke billows into a clear afternoon sky. Disquiet gently describes t
 he facades of suburbia as signs of mystery and private dramas. Here th
 e typical notion of suburbia as a site of contentment becomes its oppo
 site. In this respect Klose's works have a corollary in Eric Fischl's 
 painterly explorations of the anxieties beneath the surfaces of afflue
 nce in middle class America. And both share a cinematic – epic and a
 llegorical – view of their subject. But, unlike Fischl, Klose eschew
 s a visceral or dramatic approach to the influences of autobiography. 
 The artist creates his paintings through assembling found images, draw
 ings and images from his personal archive and the works carry a cool, 
 considered quality. This brings us to a central concern of Disquiet: t
 he fragmentary nature of experience and memory and how we look to cult
 ural symbols and forms to reflect the meanings of our personal lives.\
