Catalogue of solo exhibition by Simon Birch at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Hong Kong in 2007. Bridget Tracy Tan writes, 'By his own admission, the thought process of his recent work brought Birch into his personal histories — combining his Armenian heritage with that experienced throughout mankind's development of violence and and attempted annihilation, erosion of humanity and by that equation, the loss of identities. To use his words, "The core point was that [sic] Armenia had such a violent history and dramatic historical transitions, and so produced a huge displaced population that reinvented themselves worldwide." We are forgiven for looking at the artworks and asking what the painter is trying to say, if he himself continues to assert reinvention brone by more question than answers.' With artist biography.
