艺外EY PROJECTS 于2026年4月11日推出英国赞比亚裔艺术家 凯·加塞（Kay Gasei） 的亚洲首次个展 《诡迹》（Black Whimsy）。本次展览将集中呈现艺术家最新创作的中小尺幅油画作品，共计12件，延续了加塞长期以来对叙事断裂、神话重写以及图像生成机制的持续追问。
EY PROJECTS is pleased to announce that Black Whimsy, the first Asian solo exhibition by British Zambian artist Kay Gasei opened, on April 11, 2026. The exhibition will present 12 newly created small-to-medium-sized oil paintings, continuing Gasei's long-standing inquiry into narrative fracture, mythic rewriting, and the mechanisms of image generation.
在展陈设计上，策展团队引入了一种二重奏式的空间结构：艺术家那些色彩明亮、笔触张扬的作品被置于高亮度的展厅中，光线均匀铺开，强化了画面的活力与扩张感；而另外几幅气质暗黑、充满神秘感的作品，则被安排在一间近乎幽暗的房间里，仅以几束精准的切片灯照射，让画面中的局部细节与材质肌理在昏暗中幽幽闪光，仿佛岩画在洞穴中接受火把的检视。两种光线、两种节奏在同一展览中交替出现，既呼应了加塞作品中“荒诞日常”与“美能拯救我们”之间的张力，也让观众在明暗转换之间，亲身经历一场视觉与精神的双重奏。
In terms of exhibition design, the curatorial team introduces a duet-like spatial structure. The artist’s brightly colored, boldly brushed works are placed in a high‑light gallery, where even illumination amplifies their energy and expansiveness. Meanwhile, the darker, more mysterious pieces are installed in an almost dark room, lit only by precise spotlights that make the details and textures gleam faintly in the shadows — like petroglyphs examined by torchlight in a cave. These two alternating lighting conditions and rhythms mirror the tension in Gasei’s work between “absurd daily life” and “beauty could save us,” allowing viewers to experience a visual and spiritual duet as they move between light and dark.

凯·加塞（Kay Gasei，b.1991），英国赞比亚裔艺术家，现居伦敦。他毕业于牛津布鲁克斯大学插画专业，获学士学位。加塞的作品长期探索叙事与神话的交界地带，以动态的构图、富有表现力的抽象笔触与具象元素的融合而著称。他将个人记忆与历史研究混合，创造出一种打破时空的、自信而含混的视觉语言。一批反复出现的角色与母题栖息于其画面之中，既用于探索色彩与质感，也成为了绘画语言本身及其潜意识的通道。
艺术家积极参与多项慈善项目，其作品曾于全球知名的私人会员俱乐部 Soho House以及英国艺术家慈善基金 Artists' General Benevolent Institution（AGBI，成立于1814年）等机构展出并被收藏。

Kay Gasei (b. 1991) is a British Zambian artist based in London. He received his BA in Illustration from Oxford Brookes University. His work has long explored the boundary between narrative and myth, characterized by dynamic compositions and a fusion of expressive abstract mark-making with figuration. Mixing personal memories with historical research, he creates a visual language that collapses time and space — confident yet ambiguous. A recurring cast of characters and motifs inhabits his landscapes, serving not only as vehicles for exploring colour and texture but also as conduits to the language of painting itself and the artist's own subconscious.
He has participated in numerous charitable projects. His works have been exhibited and collected by institutions including Soho House and the Artists' General Benevolent Institution (AGBI).
His selected solo exhibitions include:“Console Rites”, 2025, Brink, London; “Veil and Vessel” (with Abigail Norris), 2025, ABGI, London; “Black Box Series”, 2023, GoWithYamo, London; “Aporia”, 2023, Chilli Art Projects, London; “EPOCHÉ”, 2022, Reem Gallery, London; “BAM (Break Art Mix)” Artist in Resident, 2022, Paris; “Soho House Inaugural Artist in Residence”, 2021, Soho Home Kings Road, London.
