Mini-XTRAVAGANZA - Two highlight events at the G(ift) HUNTING 2007
"Small is the New Big" - Bill Gribsy
When did buying art become so enjoyable (and so affordable)? The 9 GOOD reasons:
1. GOOD Options - 100 artists are on display on wall during the exhibition on December 11, and more on the Internet site. (goodedition.com)
2. GOOD Finds - Normand Rajotte's silver prints; the two-and-a-half years old Ansel Yamamoto Mitic's editions from his paintings; Tomio Nitto's drawings from his sketch books...and many more. These are mini art jewels.
3. GOOD Comment - "You can buy the *whole thing with $3000" - Gary Michael Dault.
4. GOOD Sense - A gift at $30 is heaven to many people's budget.
5. GOOD Democracy- at last, great art can now be small-ticket.
6. GOOD Size - Big vs. small. While big has always its place, it can only be enjoyed by a small number of privileged people. The new "big" can now be shared by a larger majority.
7 GOOD Action - Gift it, Hang it, Collect it - for yourself, your loved ones and your friends.
8. GOOD Addiction - Definitely feels richer, in spirit and mind.
9. GOOD Will - Thanks to all the GOOD artists and supporters. They are the good people making this project possible.
*Referring to an edition each from the 100 artists
*GOOD Edition(s) are at $30 each. All artwork are in limited edition of 30 only.

He also employs the camera to express these feelings. Growing up in Beijing Han felt the rapid rising of economic power in China has overshadowed its history and land. He photographed the Capital city in a period of five years (1995-2000), fearing that as China prospers, many old parts in the city would be demolished and replaced by new structures. The complex feelings of a new China also motivated him to produce a body of mixed-media work based on source materials from his film negatives. In this work, still dominated by the subject of "power", there is no lack of strong personal opinion and satirical sense. In the image of The Temple of Heaven, he superimposed the Chinese characters "yes" three times - the old tradition of bowing to the Emperor's supreme power. In another image, he juxtaposed graffiti with the statue of General Guan Yu (160-219) who had been deified and is still being worshiped by Chinese people today.
Han Xu was trained in oil painting in the Central Arts Institute in Beijing from 1994 to 1996. He emigrated from China to Canada in 2001 and continues his artistic career with painting and photography. His recent work, which consists of photography and video was shown in G+ GALLERIES and Harbour Front Centre in Toronto.
