South Parade presents a two person booth of new cast iron sculptures and paintings by London-based Tom Hardwick-Allan (b.1996, UK) and Kin Ting Li (b.1991, Hong Kong). These two artistic practices coalesce with surfaces worked on and stripped back continuously, until both artists relinquish an enlivened form, revealing new insights via a deeper delve into new worlds, times, bodies and feeling.
Kin Ting Li’s (b.1991, Hong Kong) paintings traverse fiction and reality, synthesising departure points from daily life ranging from nature to literature, film, architecture and science fiction. The dry accumulation of paint creates a viscosity that elicits new, unexpected forms - creating evolving organic and inorganic structures, suggesting both the microscopic and astronomical.
Tom Hardwick-Allan (b.1996, UK) scratches away at an array of surfaces, treating image making as a digestive process; tracing a range of links between falconry, printmaking and augury. These new works focus on the notion of Imprinting, the initial association made by a newly born by which a social image is projected and shaped.
