Miranda Yiu: FLOW color • white

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Yrellag Gallery is honored to present a solo exhibition of Miranda Yiu – Flow color • white. Yiu seeks to explore the depiction and expression of the human body in her Chinese ink painting. She tries to capture the charm of the human body through calligraphic strokes and varied tonalities of ink, which give rise to a good result of artistic expressiveness, sometimes bold and vigorous, and occasionally flowing and twisting unconstrainedly, creating her artistic vernacular.

Ancient Chinese literati so adhered to the spirit of nature that goes beyond the appearance of forms. In paintings, whether manifested in five tints of ink or blank-leaving reflected artists’ spiritual cultivation.
