A group of artists are presenting their works at the Humarish Club at Lisboeta Macau’s H853 Fun Factory in Cotai, with the works on display until November 17.
The exhibition kicked off last week.
Entitled “The One Less Traveled By: Group Exhibition of Asian Emerging Artists”, the free admission exhibition showcases the works of five artists: Wang Jinbo, Minami Kitabayashi, June Hee, Wu Shi, and Shek. Except for Minami who is from Japan, all the other artists are from the mainland, with each of their respective styles and mediums, which range from oils to acrylics to mixed media, displayed on the walls of the gallery.
Wang is presenting a set of serene paintings, with “sparkling light” being the artist’s “artistic language”, according to a recent statement from the gallery. This also presents either his own or other people’s “deep-seated fear of socialising”.
Minami, according to the statement, has forests, solitary figures and animals in her works, with the statement adding that the artist paints “imaginary forests” to fill in the darkness and make them habitable, and not to ignore them, showing that if each person can realise that they have their own darkness, one can hold someone’s hand with ease.
Hee, meanwhile, is showcasing scenes that question consciousness and reality. The statement noted that Hee, who mostly works with oils and watercolours, tackles the topic of consciousness and emotions between imagination and reality in life.
Sand and stone are used to create works presented by Wu, creating pieces that focus on experience and transience, the statement said. Wu’s works are described in the statement as being “a record of life’s silhouettes that are happening to you and me from God’s point of view”.
Lastly, graffiti artist and designer Shek showcases works featuring symbols and syntax on canvas. His works, according to the statement, have always been digging into his upbringing’s “ideals and contradictory realities”.
The free-admission exhibition is open daily from 12 noon to 8 p.m. More details can be found on:
