Installation View: Wild Things (2022), Kanny Yeung & Laura Zhang duo show at Parallel Space, Hong Kong.

Parallel Space presents Wild Things from Feb 2 – Feb 17 2022 with the opening event on Wednesday 2nd from 6 – 10 pm. Two Hong Kong abstract artists, Kanny Yeung and Laura Zhang, pair recent oil paintings to explore the relationship between human and nature in all its infinite variability.

The artists entwine a raw yet refined body of work, supporting one another through reverberating themes and processes while having distinctly unique styles.

Growing up in the space between “foreign” and “local”, Yeung and Zhang live the complex non-binaries of; East and West; self and other; people and place; which intuitively feeds into their painting practice. Wild Things showcases this vision in the heart of Kowloon with the support of Sham Shui Po’s leading independent art space.

Parallel Space 將於 2022 年 2 月 2-17 日推出展覽 【野生嘢】,作品來自兩位香港抽象派女畫家楊學芹、張亦亞,兩人 聯袂呈現最新油畫系列,其作品旨在展現人與自然無可窮盡的多樣性關係。開幕典禮 定於 2 日晚 6-10 時舉行。

兩位藝術家將一組且生且熟的作品交織在一起,儘管風格迥異,但互相輝映的主題, 使得兩人的作品相得益彰,不同凡響。

楊學芹、張亦亞兩人成長及生活於“海外”和”本地”,那種東方與⻄方、個人與他者、 人種與地域等複雜的感受直觀可視地反映在她們此系列作品當中。為此,她們獲得深 水埗知名獨立藝術空間 Parallel Space 的鼎力支持。
