What’s not happening in reality, !nd it in your dreams
When there is no light in reality
A camera could do nothing
I cannot shoot for I cannot see
I cannot see for I close my eyes
reminiscing the days of innocence

A group of artists and bonsai horticulturists create a “modern garden” with literati aesthetics in mind. This garden shows literati’s pursuit of arts, nature, and the unity of man and universe in the city. It also forms a tranquil leisure space for dialogue, and a blank space for people to take a break and breathe in this suffocating city.

Based on the setting of a garden with rocks, vases, antiques, relics, fish ponds and flowing water, the paintings and bonsai complement each other seamlessly. The materials and concepts employed by the artists comprise both ancient and modern Chinese and Western elements, which reflect the artists’ thoughts on local culture and its characters.

This exhibition showcases a series of works by a local millennial painter. Through reflecting upon personal experience, Ng’s works depict the background and thoughts of the painter, covering issues such as the meaning of life, personal identity and cultural exploration.

Mary graduated from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, U.S.A., and Esther graduated from San Jose State University, California, U.S.A. They have participated in various exhibitions of both local and overseas. In 2008, they founded the Earthen Light Sudio. Ceramics and Photography were their creativity media.

From my impression of the city, the paintings and rubber stamps feature repeated motifs like buildings and shops that are deeply connected with the city dwellers. These elements as seen in alleys and streets resonate with us like classic pop songs do.
