Melancholy

SC Gallery | Wong Chuk Hang
CurrentPainting
This December, SC Gallery is delighted to present “Melancholy” featuring three artists, Oscar Chan Yik Long, Joshua Hon and Rico Lau, each of them represents part of the shared framework of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Heaven embraces all creations, earth is a symbolism of natural law, and humanity bridges the two through action and emotion. The artists came together as a perfect balance while exploring the repression and melancholy emerging from the changing world. Joshua’s works often produce a dark atmosphere, contrasted by the lights or emptiness within. In representation of Heaven, Joshua has chosen to depict the iconic goddesses familiar in Hong Kong. Begins with Elisabeth II, the queen’s appearance might be unfitting, but for Joshua the beloved queen has always been the deity of elites, a symbol of civilisation. Tin Hau, the famous for her blessing the safety of the fisherman, is worshiped by East Asians. Justitia is the irreplaceable representation of fairness and justice. And Saint Maria, who has been admired for her fraternal existence. They are all famous deities of Hong Kong, but in Joshua’s paintings they appear to be oppressed. His work subtly reveals the quiet erosion of the local feminine presence, portraying a subtle violence as feminine ideals fade from public awareness.... Show more
