Description
YY9 Gallery is delighted to present ‘City Arising’, a solo exhibition by Vaan Ip.
Vaan Ip has established his name in the Hong Kong art scene with his poetic vision of the urban scene. His latest series of sculpture installation are a continuous journey of his exploration between the abstraction and reality describing the dilemma of difficult choices within a city.
Experimenting with perforated steel plates, Ip created a complexity of intricate structures that display the vibrant of a city through a clamoring architectural landscape. The shadow images projected from the lit framework create a sensual vision of the densely populated city structure.
‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams’
A quote from Eleanor Roosevelt once delivered to encourage people for the pursuit of hope. Ip’s work carries the same line of ideal and invites the viewers to experience a visual journey through an illusion of city blocks, generate a new sense of belonging and introduce a language of optimism.
Note：This event record is compiled from "Hong Kong Visual Arts Yearbook 2017" published by Department of Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
