Jono Toh: You Tell Me – H Queen’s, Hong Kong

“You Tell Me” is a vibrant exploration of the relationships formed between shape and colour, investigating the visual and emotional dynamics that reside within these foundational elements. Each painting emerges as a sophisticated and playful orchestration of geometric and fluid forms. An imaginative mélange of big, bold and bright abstraction that serve as a conduit to Toh’s visual language of expression. He uses a visual vocabulary of circles, ovals and curved lines, melodiously intertwining in mathematical rhythms. His approach to painting leverages the abstract to distil the world around us into essential components, creating pieces that while devoid of figurative representation, are nonetheless packed with significance and a sense of the familiar.

Toh intends his work to not merely exist as an object of admiration, but rather act as an invitation for an interactive experience, asking viewers to engage their imagination, to see beyond the surface and to form and connect with personal associations. His desire is to spark playful and fun conversations and inspire meaningful exchanges that transcend the physical dimensions of the canvas. This interactive dynamic lends his artwork an inherent multiplicity of meaning, wherein each painting can be seen and interpreted in myriad ways.

It is through this process that Toh finds the true value of his work – the ability to connect, communicate, and to ultimately transform the way we perceive the world around us.

“You Tell Me” est une exploration vibrante issue des relations entre la forme et la couleur, et des dynamiques visuelles et émotionnelles qui résident dans ces éléments fondamentaux. Chaque tableau est une alliance sophistiquée et ludique de formes géométriques et fluides. Il présente un vocabulaire plastique mêlant cercles, ovales et lignes courbes s’entrelaçant mélodieusement selon des rythmes mathématiques. Son approche de la peinture s’appuie sur l’abstraction. En créant des œuvres dépourvues de représentation figurative, il cherche à distiller les éléments essentiels du monde qui nous entoure. Son travail n’en est pas moins chargé de significations.

Toh souhaite que son œuvre ne soit pas simplement un objet contemplatif mais plutôt une invitation à une expérience interactive. Il suggère aux spectateurs de faire appel à leur imagination, de voir au-delà de la surface et de former des associations personnelles. Ses peintures suscitent des conversations amusantes et inspirent des échanges enrichissants qui transcendent les dimensions physiques de la toile. Cette dynamique interactive permet à chaque peinture d’être vue et interprétée de multiples façons. C’est à travers ce processus créatif que Toh trouve un sens dans sa recherche plastique – de communiquer, de transformer et de développer une capacité à chacun de percevoir le monde qui nous entoure.
