Jesús Rafael Soto

Jesús was a pioneer of the idea that a viewer could actually walk into an artwork and experience it from the inside, something we now take for granted, but which was revolutionary in its time. Born in Venezuela, it was in Paris in the 1950s that he immersed himself in the movements that were transforming Geometric Abstraction by using effects of motion and movement to bring artworks to life: literally, as in Kinetic Art, or metaphorically, as in Op Art, in which paintings or sculptures appear to be moving due to visual trickery. His works were realized on increasingly grand scales, so that eventually viewers could move within and throughout his vast sculptural forms. This made his work perfect for realization as grand public art, and so his legacy is visible across many cityscapes today.

John Pai

John is one of many important creatives that John Yau helps us rediscover in Please Wait By the Coatroom. Spanning from the 1960s through the present, Pai’s active artistic practice could be viewed as a continuing process of evolution whereby the artist connects one fundamental unit to another, and another, facilitating an incremental ritual of accretion where a new whole emerges, one that has been informed by the artist’s exploration of his subconscious, memories, and myriad interdisciplinary interests traversing music, science, Eastern philosophy, and literature.
