Now On View: Freddy Carrasco, “Return to Nothing”

WKM Gallery is delighted to present “Return to Nothing,” Canadian Dominican artist Freddy Carrasco’s inaugural exhibition in Hong Kong.

Unfolding across the gallery’s interconnected rooms, the exhibition charts a path from inner turmoil to transcendence, shaped by the artist’s 4 month residency at @sidespacehongkong.

Greeted with a visual palette of blacks and reds, the viewer is initially met with a somber and oppressive atmosphere. The canvases, mostly airbrushed, look as if they are floating within a thick fog. In one work, the vague outline of a face hovers like mist before—or perhaps behind?—an equally hazy grid. Burnt fabrics hanging off of fragile wooden sticks mimic the scenery outside of the gallery, where the ever-present bamboo scaffolding crawls up alongside buildings like expanding tesseracts, half-hidden behind transparent flowing veils of nylon mesh. The city seems to be a topographical representation of the artist’s soul; a soul disembodied by sensory overload, floating through a crushing waterfall of information that threatens to overtake the self entirely.

However, as the exhibition progresses, it becomes clear that each of the works is a step on the path toward transcendence. The canvases transform into total abstraction; airbrushed lines and hazy arches are rendered in somber colors. The final room is composed of white and pink canvases draped in soft fabrics, a calming space that signals a kind of awareness, acceptance, and peace.

As the artist quotes from Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha, a novel exploring spiritual awakening, the exhibition might best be understood as an offering of this insight: “We are not going around in circles, we are moving up, the circle is a spiral, we have already ascended many a level.”
