Gallery EXIT presents ‘The Other Side’, a solo exhibition by Elpis Chow, which will run from 6 November to 4 December, 2021. An opening will be held on Saturday, 6 November from 2pm to 5pm.

This exhibition showcases a new series of oil paintings in different formats made in this year. The works feature the people, street corners, buildings, construction sites, landscapes and objects encountered by the artist in real life, with special attention to the effects of various media and materials on canvas, and how different colours and visual elements are rearranged in the pictorial world. Most of the scenes depicted in the works are nondescript places and corners which evoke a sense of familiarity but also that of strangeness. Hence they are akin to mirror images: While they may be a reflection of reality, they are not reality itself.

Gallery address: 3/F, Blue Box Factory Building, 25 Hing Wo St, Aberdeen
