Opening Reception: Feb 21 2009 (Sat) 3.30 pm
The entire exhibition is an installation based on the inspiration which the artist got from two household plates in blue-and-white ceramic. One being chinese manufactured for export to Europe, the other one is a british “Blue Willow”-pattern industrialization product transforming its chinese model. Both products being made around 1800.
The historical relationship of these two plates opened a hyperphysical space to the artist, in which the process of globalization, as well as the irritation of a cultural appreciation is the subject.
Yip Lap Wing tries to show with his installation the manipulation of the landscape image which reflects the subjective deformation of nature.
