SUPREME/THE KILLER

Posted on 2018-10-22

The Killer is a 1989 action film written and directed by John Woo. Chow Yun-fat plays Ah Jong, a Hong Kong Triad assassin who damages a nightclub singer’s eyes during a shootout. To fund the operation that will save her sight, Ah Jong accepts one final job — where he is discovered by Li Ying, a police detective who becomes obsessed with the hitman’s code of ethics. The Killer is often referred to as a “bullet ballet” — revered for both its intricately choreographed battles and its notions of honor.

This fall, Supreme has worked on a collection featuring imagery from The Killer. The collection consists of an M-65 Jacket, Hooded Sweatshirt, two T-Shirts and a Skateboard.

Available in-store NY, Brooklyn, LA, London, Paris and online October 25th.

ANDRE BUTZER – 1 EIS BITTE! (1999)

Posted on 2018-10-22

The first dedicated exhibition of the artist’s seminal “Science-Fiction-Expressionism” series in the UK, 1 Eis Bitte! (1999) features works from 1999 – 2000 and one large-scale painting from the “N-Bilder” (“N-Paintings”) dated 2011.

The exhibition title 1 Eis Bitte! (1 Ice Please), is taken from one of the paintings included and can be seen as referencing Butzer’s first solo show at Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin in 2003 – Chips und Pepsi und Medizin (Chips and Pepsi and Medicine). Whilst both titles are playful in their casual spoken nature, Butzer wryly critiques commodity aesthetics through the allusion to products of mass consumption and branded identities. At the same time, aware of the contradictions at play, Butzer lures in the viewer through his deliberate use of bright colours and enlivened compositions.

YAYOI KUSAMA – THE MOVING MOMENT WHEN I WENT TO THE UNIVERSE

Posted on 2018-10-22

Throughout her career, Yayoi Kusama has developed a unique and diverse body of work that, highly personal in nature, connects profoundly with global audiences. Continuing to address the twin themes of cosmic infinity and personal obsession, the new works in this exhibition are testament to an artist at the height of her powers as she approaches her 90th birthday. Paintings from the artist’s celebrated, ongoing My Eternal Soul series are on view at Gallery II, Wharf Road. Joyfully improvisatory, fluid and highly instinctual, the My Eternal Soul paintings abound with imagery including eyes, faces in profile, and other more indeterminate forms, including the dots for which the artist is synonymous, to offer impressions of worlds at once microscopic and macroscopic.
