To coincide with Frieze London, the UK's largest contemporary art fair, Tiger Gallery™ is pleased to present "I Love Me Some Life," an exhibition of eight new paintings by David "Mr. StarCity" White. StarCity is a multi-talented artist who creates in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, poetry, music, performance, video, and photography. His work is rich in color, not only in realistic themes but also in imaginary subjects, and his reputation has been growing steadily as he masterfully depicts otherworldly scenes that unite the beauty, passion, and conflict of everyday life.

Namuyimba

Godwin Champs Nam Imba

Godwin Champs Namuyimba è noto per il suo stile di pittura complessa a strati, che si serve della figura umana per esplorare l'identità e la razza tramite uno sguardo africano postcoloniale. Nei suoi ritratti di famiglie e gruppi di amici in situazioni domestiche, Namuyimba trasforma il contesto quotidiano in una descrizione del mondo di tipo ispirazionale, aspirazionale e fantastica.
Nato nel 1989 a Masaka, in Uganda, Namuyimba si è diplomato nel 2017 alla Kyambogo University di Kampala. I suoi lavori sono stati esposti a livello internazionale, divenendo oggetto di mostre personali in numerose gallerie, tra cui Galerie Marguo a Parigi, Zidoun Bossuyt Gallery in Lussemburgo, East-Projects a New York, Ars Belga a Bruxelles, e Gallery Steinsland & Berliner a Stoccolma. Sono presenti opere di Namuyimba nelle collezioni del MUDAM (Museo lussemburghese di arte contemporanea), della W Art Foundation di Qingdao, Shanghai e Hong Kong, della Örebro City Library in Svezia, e del The Bunker Art Space di West Palm Beach, in Florida.

S.H. Kim

S.H. KIM

Born in 1992 in South Korea (Seoul). Having been familiar with Japanese and American animated films since childhood, her Explosion series includes nostalgic childhood memories of her favorite animated films and subtle questions of identity related to her experience as an Asian living in the United States. Skillfully painted with oil sticks and oil pastels, with bare hands and fingers, and directly without drawing, the artist creates scenes that are raw, intuitive, and yet intensely evocative. Everyone experiences conflict, whether internal or external. Explosions convey conflict, but they also, in a sense, eradicate it. I guess I am trying to use the energy of explosions to provide clues to resolving the many conflicts of modern society," Kim said. Kim said.

Kohei Nawa

Kohei Nawa

Sculptor / Director of Sandwich Inc. / Professor at Kyoto University of the Arts
Born in 1975, and based in Kyoto, Japan, Kohei Nawa received a PhD in Fine Art/Sculpture from Kyoto City University of Arts in 2003, and established Sandwich in 2009. He is now a professor at the Kyoto University of the Arts.

Focusing on the surface “skin” of sculpture as an interface connecting to the senses, Nawa began his PixCell series in 2002 based on the concept of the cell, symbolizing the information age. Adopting a flexible interpretation of the meaning of sculpture, he produces perceptual experiences that reveal the physical properties of materials to the viewer through works addressing themes related to life and the cosmos and to artistic sensibility and technology, including Direction, in which he produces paintings using gravity, Force, in which silicone oil pours down through a space, Biomatrix, in which bubbles and grids emerge on a liquid surface, and Foam, in which bubbles form enormous volumes.

Recently, Nawa has also worked on architectural projects, including the art pavilion “Kohtei.” “VESSEL,” a performance work produced in conjunction with Belgo-French choreographer and dancer Damian Jalet, has been presented around the world since its premiere in 2015. In 2018, his sculpture “Throne” was exhibited under the Pyramid at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France. In 2023, “Ether (Equality),” a 25 meters-tall sculpture was installed permanently on Seguin Island on France's Seine River.

Daisuke Ohba

Daisuke Ohba

Daisuke Ohba’s iridescent pearl paintings evoke an illusion that emerges and fades through the transience of time. As image and color continuously change within the conditions of ambient light, the painting constructs a quiet dialogue with a viewer by developing a relationship in pictorial space. The image, crystallized within the mind of the painter, is then activated and brought to life. While these responsive effects—inducing light movement and flickering in the viewer's eye—have been intended through methodological experiments according to optical laws, the painting also embraces the notion of chance during the process of painting, thus producing an unexpected formation of patterns.
