Vibrant sea creatures come to mind when first encountering London duo, Hsiao-Chi Tsai and Kimiya Yoshikawa’s installations. Placed in either a public or residential environment, their work opens the mind to new possibilities. This is the wobbly, wonderful line between art and design and one so rarely negotiated quite this boldly and exquisitely. Tsai and Yoshikawa are choreographers of culture, colour, material and expression, successfully mastered thanks to their unique sensibility. Is there is a more exciting way to shake up a sleeping historic interior than with a bold stroke of millennial genius? A courageous choice for today and generations to follow.
