Serie: Hong Kong New Artist Series
Swimming on the Ground
When the society is increasingly distorted and the line between right and wrong is blurred, how can one still trust their ability to make an informed judgement?
Taking on social pathology as theme, this exhibition by up-and-coming ink artist Lau King-nam probes into human nature as inspired by social events. Through paintings, the artist toys with the stories of “the advocate” and “the bystander”, in a bid to examine the various positions of contemporary Hong Kong. Perhaps, things around us are gradually being changed.
