The gallery will be over flowing with these huge,
colourful and action-packed canvas banners which have
hung outdoors and been weathered by the elements.
We see a larger than life Harrison Ford in Firewall,
but do not recognise him for his Asian characteristics.
Hollywood has been reframed, mashed up and reconstructed
for an Asian audience.
Local
painters have embellished the source images from foreign
lobby cards to present a more marketable extension
of what came from the Hollywood ‘dream factory’.
In so doing the banners have crossed the line from
being an artefact to a more elaborate re-imagined
artifiction.
