Art Projects Gallery proudly presents the latest works of Lewis Lau Yin To in a solo exhibition titled “Facade”. Lau’s art practice focuses on depicting the current state of his life in Hong Kong, and by extension, a personal reflection of the physical and philosophical realities of the city. In a constant search to overcome the numbness he has felt about his existence, Lau looks to painting as an avenue of escape and rediscovery. 

Lewis’s figurative style of painting with a vivid colour palette and the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated subjects and alienated settings, create intriguing scenes that project a sense of surreal ambiguity and absurdity. Through the blurring of reality with distant memories, Lau hopes to conjure a stimulant for the soul and indulge into what may be to the artist, a sense of tranquility along the fine line between the present and the uncertain future.
