Curator’s message

Paul YEUNG

In recent years, the social upheaval and the Covid-19 pandemic have caused significant disruption to young people’s studies. For any students, the past few years have been full of twists and turns, both in terms of their studies and life experiences. They have experienced feelings of insecurity, loss, alienation, fear, confusion, shame, distress, and above all, loneliness, transforming a once familiar city into a place where even mere survival seemed at stake.

The young artists participating in this year’s joint exhibition are a beacon of light in these challenging times. During a period of significant upheaval and social confinement, they have continued to produce outstanding works of art, using a range of techniques to explore topics such as their own emotions, friends and family, and the local community. Through their work, they demonstrate that the young generation of today is more resilient than many people may think: despite the significant disruptions to their lives, they are still able to forge their own path – by no means an easy task in today’s challenging times.

Noted with thanks is Lumenvisum’s fourth joint exhibition of young artists. The exhibition aims to bring outstanding works of art by college and university graduates to a wider audience, and provides a platform for young artists to exchange ideas and showcase their works.
