“The Poetry of Colors” Exhibition will be presented at Oi Ling
Antiques from 22 March to 22 April 2018, showcasing more than 40 abstract
paintings by Philippe Caretti, a Swiss artist.
The Poetry of Colors is reminiscent of the action painting,
or gestural abstraction, of the mid-20th century. But one of the collection’s
distinctive element is Caretti’s unique and unusual choice of tools: syringes.
The paint is first drawn into the syringe, and afterwards, skillfully expelled
to form the envisaged lines, swirls, dots, blotches, or patterns. Caretti spent
4 years on creating his inaugural collection, with an unusual tool: syringes.
The Poetry of Colors features a selection of paintings that
are playful and unapologetically bright, showing the artist’s heightened
sensitivity to colors. The collection
celebrates the way of life and wisdom of Asia, a place where Caretti has lived
for more than 20 years
The collection is divided into 4 stanzas, namely “Communion”,
“Taking Form”, “Coming Together” and “The Garden of Eden”.
