Fly me to the moon
From 21 March, 2015 to 16 May, 2015

Gallery Magda Danysz, 188 Linqing Road (x Pingliang Road), Shanghai

“Fly me to the moon is an original project created by LUDO, in Shanghai, from November 2014 to March 2015, as the result of his first trip in this city. The exhibition shows together a series of works on canvas around a specific recurring pattern, sculptures and a video about his adventure in Shanghai and even the “work in progress”.

LUDO discovers Shanghai at the fall 2014 while he participates in the group show organized by the gallery beyond the walls. This experience is an important visual shock for him and at the same time a huge source of inspiration. Shanghai magnetizes him and he feels a sort of creative emergency.

Pushed by the idea to capture the movement of the city, he creates a series of canvas in which the central figure is a bee with a gas mask around which he works the matter from dusts, fragments and other elements he takes from the streets. His esthetic is close to Kiefer. Here, the gleaned elements are sublimed and the artist gives them a new energy.

For this first exhibition in Shanghai, Ludo invites us to travel and escape through his imagination.”
