YY9 Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition, “Reflection”, by Damon Tong and Dee Dee Choy. In this exhibition, both artists will present their new series of paintings and explore their sensational journeys through simplistic abstraction, colors and objects.

In Damon’s works, he freezes pieces of impressive memory along time to recreate a new perception. He captures color sensation and shapes in his works so as to explore their relationships with objects, attempting to shorten his distance from arts. Dee Dee’s paintings are about the play of textures and the portrait of colors in a minimal and purely abstract way. She aims to present her paintings as a mirror which reveals the emotional sides of the audience.
