Vroom Vroom encapsulates a driving technique that intricately orchestrates the manipulation of vehicular or mechanical apparatus, deftly navigating the delicate balance between regulated order and spontaneous tumult. In the transitional space of HKAC Diana Cheung Experimental Gallery, Dave Chow revolved around a nuanced interplay of control and chaos as the subject-matter for his first solo exhibition, exploring sculptural language of monumental- sized sculptures made with composite materials, as it pertains to the paradoxical coexistence of speed and power, alongside fragility and peril.
Drawing a parallel to the experience of flying at near-light speeds in the cosmos, as scientists simulate the momentary vistas that swiftly expand and dissolve into an abyss of infinite darkness, the exhibition space, delineated a a dimly lit corridor composed predominantly of rubber materials, sets ablaze by the compelling escape of light from low-intensity reflective surfaces.
