It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night — but it has elements of all of these. All are welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too.

Press release quote, in full here. (PDF format and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software or equivalent. Download Acrobat Reader here.) In their West Coast debut at Oolong Gallery, "Sky written, cosmic draw," artists Ivan David Ng and Sergio Suárez invite viewers into a realm where the boundaries of identity dissolve, and abstraction becomes a language of wonder, longing, and imagined unity. Originally from Singapore and currently on faculty at OSU, David Ng explores the order of fragmentation through conceptual and materially altered studies that scatter celestially across well-considered surfaces in drawing, fresco, experimental photography, 3D printing, and collage. His “scrambling” process generatively remixes materials, translating the endurance and displacement of a diasporic lineage into patterns that swirl and slither, refusing stillness. Suarez, a Mexican-born, Atlanta-based artist, bridges spirit and matter through a practice spanning printmaking, woodblock carving, painting, sculpture, and installation. His works stage the dialogue between the sacred and profane, often etched as depersonalized figures, are animated by the opposing tensions in archetypal forces (i.e. bodily desire and the limits in temperance, fire as regenerative and destructive). Together, Ivan David Ng and Sergio Suarez create a contemporary codex that nudges curiosity into the conceptual articulation of a mythopoetic way of knowing. Oolong Gallery on Instagram
