VAULTMAN x Mei Lin Hii x John Thomas
Live painting & music - official launch of the exhibition
"Black Work. L’Œuvre au Noir"
In the face of the fast-paced rhythm of our contemporary lives, the plethora of choices that new media use to satisfy our available brain time, or even the simplistic duality that social networks seem to generate, Vaultman has decided to go against the grain of this informational frenzy by adopting the simplest possible technique in black and white for the works in this exhibition, in an attempt to reconnect with the essential.
From the dialogue between these two tones, an infinity of impressions and emotions can arise, provided that we pay attention to the nuances. Difference appears as a possibility to merge rather than a confrontation between two entities.
The dialogue between black and white will extend in the form of a performance bringing music and painting together, with the
exceptional participation of two great Malaysian artists, Mei Lin Hi, a concert pianist, and John Thomas, a jazz drummer.
Date Friday, June 2
Time 7pm (performance starts at 8:30pm)

hybrid and multicultural in essence. He tries to push the limits of his movements to explore a new energy. Both an interior and

traditional dances.
