For the first time at Gallery EXIT, Lau Siu Chung exhibits a new series of large-scale oil paintings, created from everyday sceneries around the artist, who has captured his impressions of the momentous urban landscapes and street happenings, bringing a unique viewing experience with constantly changing lines and layered compositions.

Let’s go somewhere, as suggested by the exhibition title, is about the artist’s personal travel experience, and how living in a busy city, he has a particular yearning for nature in the countryside due to recent changes in the mode of travel as a result of the pandemic.

Some of the works are based on the Hong Kong cityscape inhabited by the artist, whose persona often figures in the paintings, leading the viewers into the busy streets from a first-person perspective. At the same time, natural elements such as trees and parks are constant motifs in the artist’s creation.

Gallery address: 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
