EASTPRO Gallery is pleased to present “Wandering in Emptiness” – a solo exhibition of Jiwye To. In this exhibition, Jiwye exhibits his art works from the 1970s to 2000s to show his artistic concept – emptiness. His concept of emptiness was inspired by Daosim, Buddhism and Phenomenology and integrated with his personality, knowledge, academic training and life experience as well. In the paintings by Jiwye, one often finds a huge expanse of haziness which allows one to meander around. There is not a single trait of human presence. Jiwye’s landscapes are often depicted from a high vantage point with misty clouds flowing among hills and waterfalls, where the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. The works allure viewers to enter into a realm of boundlessness, in which they could give free vein to their imagination, whilst letting go and blending themselves with the objective world. In such a harmonious state which transcends time and space, one feels uninhibited, as free as a bird gliding in the sky. The aesthetic experience and sense of harmony one gains by appreciating such works is simply beyond language.

Gallery address: 9A, Hyde Centre, 223 Gloucester Rd, Causeway Bay
