Description
Chan Yu’s work commands a standing in the contemporary art world because of both their meaning and presentation. Chan Yu’s previous series was heavily centered on his own concept of identity. His 2008 solo in Connoisseur Contemporary titled “The Absence of Self; The Presence of Images”, required him to see himself from a third-person perspective and subsequently look at another person as himself; in order to establish his identity. In the end he believes that our identity is affirmed by the presence of others and that often, we are just trying on alter egos to see which fits best. His work is now recognizable by his style of repetitive, overlapping layering of images that have become a symbol of his evolution as a person and as an artist with a complex personality.
