EXHIBITION DETAIL

<The Colossal Beauty : Sense of Wonder>

<The Colossal Beauty : Sense of Wonder >
delves into the theme of immense beauty.
The human yearning to witness and wonder
at the big and beautiful has been around since time immemorial.
It is in fact ingrained in our very psyche to
imagine giants, worship megaliths, and build
towering structures that reach for the skies.
This exhibition is designed to explore
the origin of this primordial reaction to colossal beings.

When confronted with something so immense,
it escapes our ability to fathom its form
and we are taken aback
by a completely new sensation.
It contains an emotional turbulence
unlike any typical aesthetic experience.
Beneath the beauty invoked in witnessing
the grandeur of nature lies fear.
This fearful beauty that is felt whilst in the
presence of objects beyond our ability
to control is called the ‘sublime’.

The colossal simply overwhelms
the space beyond light and shadow,
and paired with intense sound,
creates a truly multi-sensory experience
to draw us in to a whole new dimension of sensations.

Sense of Wonder
Beauty awaits; at the ready to unfold
its sheer wonders right before your eyes.

  • Crystal Clear - Pristine Glass

    Crystal clarity of MASTERPIX™,
    Perfectly reproducing
    The original beauty of the art.

    MASTERPIX™ has superior optical characteristics that prevent penetration and reflection of color.
    It is designed to maximize the penetration rate of the glass under the visible spectrum.
    MASTERPIX™ is 18% more effective in reproducing color than acrylic frames. You can enjoy the perfect color of your work.

  • Maximum Strength

    Shock-resistant and scratch-proof,
    MASTERPIX™ by Corning® Gorilla® Glass.
    The glass of choice for over 8 billion products around the world.

    MASTERPIX™ is manufactured using Corning® Gorilla® Glass,
    special reinforced glass made by Corning’s unique fusion technique and ion-enhancement technology.
    While a conventional acrylic frame with the hardness of 2~3 can be scratched by merely a coin,
    MASTERPIX™ with the hardness of 6.8 can only be scratched by a diamond.

    • 6.8
    • Arcylic Frame
      2~3
  • Ultra-flat surface

    Near-perfect flatness
    300 times as superior,
    MASTERPIX™ prevents distortion of images.

    MASTERPIX™ boasts ultimate flatness without any surface curvatures. Unlike conventional acrylic or glass frames,
    MASTERPIX™ frames do not create image distortions due to surface curvatures. Under the equal testing environment,
    acrylic frames are transformed by more than 10mm,
    while MASTERPIX™ frames do not undergo transformations. MASTERPIX™ has near-perfect durability and flatness.

    Testing environment -
    Temperature (60 ̊C),
    humidity (90%), exposure (144 hours)

  • Anti-Reflective  I, II

    Quality beyond imagination
    Revolutionary anti-reflection
    The ultimate design for gloss-free option

    Anti-reflective technology is applied to MASTERPIX™2 and above, substantially reducing reflectivity.

    If the lighting cannot be controlled at the place where you intend to install your artwork,
    you can choose the Anti-Reflective II option.

    While an ordinary anti-reflective technology applies coating that scatters light on the surface, reducing the contrast ratio,
    Corning’s anti-reflective technology coats the non-coated glass surface to the nanometer level to maintain the contrast ratio
    while reducing the light reflectivity to the limit.

  • Timeless

    Durability
    that withstands heat of over 600 ̊C
    and excellent color preservation.

    MASTERPIX™ cannot be deformed even by heat of over 600 ̊C
    While an ordinary acrylic frame is easily deformed even in an 84 ̊C environment,
    MASTERPIX™ withstands environments above 600 ̊C - unparalleled durability made possible by the special structure of Corning® Gorilla® Glass.
    Frame without color degradation
    MASTERPIX™ by Corning® Gorilla® Glass does not undergo color degradation - the key limitation of an acrylic frame - preserving your artwork at its utmost condition over time.
