EndedPainting
Grotto Fine Art is proud to present 'The Luminous and Hidden', a solo exhibition by renowned Hong Kong artist Hung Hoi. The present exhibition features new works that shatter boundaries or limitations on how a traditional Chinese ink painter addresses abstraction on a conceptual level. Hung Hoi’s new works feature a conceptual abstraction that combines irregular color shapes and patches with intense emotional ideas. The artists want to express thoughts and questions about the environment and time. The paintings do not show clear objects. Instead, shapes, colors, and textures represent concepts. We must interpret the meaning from the work’s visual language.
