Chan Suet-yi’s solo exhibition showcases the paintings and drawings that she created in Berlin, Germany. “The Smoky House” is an imaginative space for her mindscapes, while “Smoky” could be an indication of her emotions in this chaotic world.
Chan has been living and working nomadically in Europe for several years, and her artistic creation is often related to the landscapes and imagery she encounters. She often takes the role of a silent observer on the road. The stillness and quietness from the landscapes and objects constantly attract her, and she tries to re-create that same aura through her works, adding her own feelings so that the paintings convey an ambiguous mood that cannot be captured easily in words. There is no specific time, place or meaning behind the paintings.
