Lo Sin Ying: Through the Grille

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Yrellag Gallery is pleased to present Hong Kong artist Lo Sin Ying’s solo exhibition Through the Grille at the Central Gallery from August 21 to September 8, 2022. The exhibition features Lo’s artworks that reveal facets of hidden time and memory in our lives.

In this exhibition, the artist uses a print- based mixed media technique that results in a hybrid painting and print. It combines the textures of print with the nuances of painting. The methodology involves the repeated application of paint through carved printing plates and the subsequent fading of excess paint through washing or dilution, until the desired composition is achieved.

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

Lo Sin Ying grew up overseas and worked in finance before completing an art degree at RMIT/Hong Kong Art School. After returning to live in Hong Kong for many years, she has grown to appreciate and love the local history and culture.

Fascinated by time and memory, there is often a sense of loss as time, people and places move on. In her work, there is the grappling with time, dealing with aspects of memory, and the wish to simply take a snapshot .... particularly in these fast changing and erosive times.
