“Gallery by the Harbour” is going to present “2011 Art Exhibition of Yolanda Pong — The Language and Temperature within Paintings” from 14-31 July 2011. This is going to be Taiwanese artist Yolanda Pong’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. In Pong’s works, the non-figurative signs, color patches, objects, and media are used to construct and interweave an imaginative space, on which personal feelings and memories are inscribed by her interaction with the elements. Yolanda will be in town and welcome to have interview from 12 July 2011.

Using linear time as the principle axis of my exhibitions in recent years, Yolanda has put on exhibit the works made in each time frame of a period of three to four years. If a single work is an expression of the artist’s perspective at the time he or she made it, the body of works, made in different periods, and of different sizes and narrative approaches, when dispersed in an irregular order, will hopefully render a visual language along a temporal dimension. Furthermore, these works, exhibited in different places by different classifications and ways of arrangement, will manifest a “reduction” or “proliferation” among different groups, like the growth and withering of a living body. By presenting Yolanda’s works in different ways, she hopes to not only display many different pieces to the audience, but to also introduce her works as a large-scale production with the features of reduction, proliferation, and interaction. These works can be seen as a single entity, as well as fragments of a body or length of history, among which the interstices are a matter of process and the flow of time.
