Grace CY Lam: See and be seen

1 October 2024 - 19 October 2024

Free

EVENT DESCRIPTION

“See and be seen” encapsulates a fair and reciprocal activity, where the observers themselves become the subjects of observation. Beyond the mere aesthetics of voyeurism, there exists the aspiration to become the embodiment of beauty in the eyes of others. Throughout the history of art, have not many renowned paintings been subjected to constant criticism? Yet, through the existence of these artworks, they also grant us a glimpse into the nuanced interpretations of artistic styles by humans. While the works are being appreciated, they silently witness the ever-evolving changes of the times. The fundamental question thus arises: is the definition of beauty and art determined by the observer or the creator?

Grace CY Lam has navigated the realms of fashion design, makeup, and styling, guided by her distinct aesthetic sensibilities. In her creative endeavors, she has positioned the subject as the focal point of attention. Grace has consistently rotated between the roles of observer, explorer, and creator. The present exhibition seeks to express and reflect on the multifaceted perspectives of beauty, combining Grace’s extensive experience in crafting “be seen” elements behind the scenes with the paintings of her favorite cartoon characters.
