Solitary (Joint Display)

Artists: Cheung Pak Yu Astrid and Lau Mei Shan
Date: 19 February – 1 March 2024
Venue: New Asia College Ch’ien Mu Library
Statement:
Cheung’s current artworks concentrate on urban life and emphasize the reflections on our habitual state, including the aspects of interpersonal relationships, personal practice and behavior. Her works deliberate urban life by applying the knowledge of cultural studies. One of her approaches is to explore the issues of “community” and reflect our involvement in self. Also, she explores the topic of personal space and the impact of mobility on relationships based on the characterization of late modernity. Elements about humans, daily life, the city, and dark cool tone colors are often presented in her works.

Lau Mei Shan, a year 3 fine arts student, this series of paintings is based on the theme of nature. In modern society, people are under a lot of pressure, and they are longing for freedom and peace in their hearts. Where people come from and where they are far away, the heart of return still exists in everyone’s heart.
