Gallery EXIT presents a group exhibition ‘New Gaze’, featuring the works of Celia KO, LAU Siu Chung, Ticko Liu and Glary Wu.
 
Through this series of works, Celia KO explores her various constructions of reality through still-life painting as a seemingly naturalistic world intensely observed. Obsessed with capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life, LAU Siu Chung’s works depart from the city where he lives, leading the viewer through various urban landscapes and street impressions, where city and nature seem to blend into one another, though the artist feels that there is always a line separating the two. For Ticko LIU, his surrealistic paintings are collages of his myriad ideas, inspirations, images and observations. A man of many interests, the artist recalls a childhood immersed in wild and boundless imaginations, expressed through the act of painting amidst a repressive environment. In Glary WU’s paintings, scenes and characters from daily life are presented on the canvas as individual scenes from a stage play. Revolving around trivial happenings and interactions between people, Wu’s paintings are rich in imagination and narrative quality, with special attention to the interactions between the various elements and characters on the pictorial surface and associations evoked from the scenes.
