Pauline Chan So Yee belongs to the group of young Hong Kong artists who dares to test their limits as well as to reach deep into their creativity, exploring ways to realize what they are eager to share in their works.
In her up-coming solo exhibition, Naked Eyes, at Art Beatus Exhibition Space on Graham Street near the SoHo Area, So Yee touches on two extremely sensitive areas that are challenging us every day, privacy and mental scars.
So Yee uses her works to question the deceitful nature of our eyes and to uncover our dread of the omnipresent surveillance lenses. She said, “ I use plastic fabrics and wires to sew up numerous eyeballs and hang them together, keeping these eyes all over us, looking down on us and peeping into our lives.”
Other works in the exhibition navigate the terrain of mental and physical blemishes that have left on us through past experiences and occurrences. So Yee hopes to smoothen out the scars and to present them in a different perspective that turns defects to merits for appreciation.
Art Beatus Gallery is located on the ground floor of 35-39 Graham Street, Central, near the junction with Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace (SOHO Area).
