Gallery EXIT is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Oscar Chan Yik Long, showcasing paintings in acrylic and ink on canvas (all from 2023) and titled ‘It’s the smiles that keep us going’. Something has happened in Chan’s practice since his first solo exhibition at the gallery two years ago. He used to restrict himself to Chinese ink or graphite, although with much nuance between the black and the white. Now there is colour, almost every colour – splashes of red and pink and orange and yellow and brown and green and blue and purple – and on top there are probing, fast-moving, dancing lines and blots of ink.

Exhibition opening: Saturday, 21 Oct 2023 (2 - 5 pm)

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