Classic Gallery’s latest exhibition fails to leave an impression

‘The Intersection of Ten Thoughts Part II’ is a big miss not because the artworks are dull, but because the gallery relies on a short, four-minute video to depict 20 artworks of 10 contemporary artists.

Almost two-third of the canvas is taken up by a woman, with her head bowed and body hunched, as though crammed inside a cocoon. There are bubbles surrounding her and wings sprout from her back. The composition of the work and how the subject is placed in the painting indicates what the artist is trying to convey: the realities of women who are stopped from doing what they want to do, yet they evolve to become who they truly are.
