Lam’s painting comprises two sides of an experience, epitomizing both extreme abstraction and extreme realism of an urban context. His work on the one hand displays purity and harmony in structural and color sense, and ‘container’ - merging ‘the local’ with ‘the global’ as a gene mobilizing city on the other. Another reference of this painting series is the connotational Hollywood production ‘Transformer III’, which recently made a record of box office in China since 1999. Lam’s work illuminates how our living experience would be completely changed with the new ‘container’ and how the meaning of this world could be transformed by a new landscape of industry and its embodied life-system symbolized by ‘Optimus Prime’.
