Artwork

Over The Influence is proud to present OTI's Greater China Summer Program featuring, “Fast Taste”, a solo exhibition by Catherine Grossrieder from the 11 August to 31 August, featuring a new series of works inspired by a culture of fast food and fried chicken.

Catherine Grossrieder is an artist who resides in Hong Kong. Having been born in Bangkok and brought up in Hong Kong, she’s been influenced by a multitude of Asian and Japanese style cartoons. Combined with the graffiti and hiphop culture, it has molded the style of her art that we know today.

The mind’s imagination and her cultural and social conditioning are sources of creativity. Having lived in Hackney in London, where there was an abundance of fast food shops, namely chicken shops. Grossrieder has decided to make it the leading theme of her art during that period and approached it in her cartoon mascot-meets-graffiti character style. Sexual elements were also added to the art to convey the momentary feeling of ecstasy and euphoria that depicts urban life. Observant of her surroundings, cultures and quirks, Grossrieder turns them into visual satires or dedications through visual narration and paintings.

Vernissage on 10th August 6-8pm will host a live DJ Lincoln.
