Colin Stinson "Game of Death"
Invisible NYC
This event has ended.
The show’s title, Game of Death references the title of Bruce Lee’s 1973 film, which was unfinished due to Mr. Lee’s death. The film was intended to present a philosophical treatment of martial arts by focusing on the idea that one has to adapt to changing circumstances. This free flowing adaptation is reflected in the methods and processes used to create many of the paintings in the show. The paradox of death and games is a visual and metaphorical undercurrent throughout the exhibit. In particular, the cycle of life and death, creation and destruction, and ultimately the mysteries surrounding death and the creation of matter in the universe form the basis for the works’ internal dialog. The paintings in the exhibit allude to sorcery, magic, alchemy, and ghost worlds as well as organic morphology.
