Grotto Fine Art is pleased to present 'Crossing the Nights Filling the Lines', the fourth solo exhibition of artist Bouie Choi Yuk-kuen, taking place from March 8 to April 1 at Grotto SKW. The opening reception is scheduled for March 11th, from 2-6pm.

“Sometimes I paint the day as night and the night as dawn. So ‘the moments’ are migrated into a carrier trapping time.” “Imagine time as a series of lines: like alternating bars of light and shadow; like the first stroke of charring on carbonized wood; like the crosswalk at an intersection; like the line differentiating day and night on an infinite timeline…Confronting these demarcations, I think I can try to fill the gaps between the red lines.”

'Crossing the nights Filling the lines' represents the latest chapter in Choi's journey of artistic discovery. The dynamic urban imagery in this exhibition, constituting an ethereal journey of scattered lights which Choi forges from her vocabulary of forms, lines, and edges, evokes the shifting positionalities of identities and interpretations of this idea called ‘Home’.

In Bouie Choi’s new painting, alongside her delicate sensibility, urban landscape is not just a stage, it plays a part in the narrative rather than simply providing a backdrop for it. She depicts a temporally unstable landscape where different periods of time merge and meet. A landscape is never finished nor fixed.
