EVENT DESCRIPTION
Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition ‘tri-angles’ curated by Eric Leung, featuring works by Cassandra Lau Po Yan, Chivas Leung and Chonticha Kaiaroonsuth.
In geometry, a three-faced polyhedron cannot exist in a three-dimensional space unless it is a curved surface, hence, a three- faced polyhedron should not exist. However, human perspectives and opinions are erratic and may be distorted. Considering issues from three different angles can create a three-dimensional thinking space. The exhibition hopes to examine the world through the visions of three young female artists and illustrate their unique perspectives on life.
Cassandra Lau Po Yan believes every city has its unique culture, which manifests through peoples’ lives and identities. A place of residence presents the cityscape and connects people with their space. It is our interpretation and the concept of home. Our fast-paced city is rebuilding urban neighbourhoods in our communities, reflecting trends in globalisation and gentrification. Old-style residences such as ‘tong laus’ (Chinese tenements) have been gradually demolished and replaced by new concrete high- rise buildings, which isolate people and emphasise loneliness in the city. Locals living in ‘tong laus’ have been a unique and memorable aspect of Hong Kong life since the 19th century, creating collective memories. Recording their forms preserves the beautiful city landscape in its concrete jungle.
Chivas Leung sees painting as a ritual to complete a memory, as the irreversible nature of life prompts her to vividly recall the past. Inspired by Richard Sanderson’s song Reality, which accompanied her childhood, this series of works interprets Leung’s understanding of the song. An encounter between two people may just be a figment of the imagination, and the meaning of intimate relationship between people is explored.
Chonticha Kaiaroonsuth‘s works in this exhibition were inspired by a long night. She tries to encapsulate some of her feelings during night- time. The works contains her experiences on several different nights. Many unfinished stories happen after nightfall, and through her works, she explores issues of which she is unaware, to find meaning the unknown.
