In Search of Yi - Oil Paintings by Lo Shyh-Charng

Artist will be in attendance at the opening on October 3rd (Thursday), 2013, 6 - 8pm

For the past 24 years, Lo Shyh-charng depicts on one theme only - mountains and water. His painting routine, as he says, is very much like a sword-smith hammering and grinding down a sword.

To common viewers his paintings are thematically similar. Yet each work is as unique as one piece of hand-crafted sword, the end result of long hours of repeated efforts and numerous meditational dialogues amongst the artist, the scenery being captured and the work on the easel.

Lo Shyh-charng was trained professionally in anthropology and museum studies and such studies have permeated in his works. He spares no effort in displaying on the canvases the intensity of emotions as well as his analytical interpretation of shapes, colours and light.

The title of this exhibition, "In Search of Yi", on the one hand pays tribute to Lo's years of untiring devotion to Yishu (art) and on the other hand highlights his expressionistic capturing of Yijing (artistic conception of a scenery) on his paintings.

In Search of Yi starts from October 3rd until 25th, 2013.
