“spine won’t remember its wings” is a duo exhibition by Shum Hok Kiu and Yuen Lai Yi. The paintings document the artists' contemplation of time and space.  

Echoing the line from Someday I’ll Love Ocean Vuong by the Vietnamese-American poet Ocean Vuong, Shum reconstructs blurred scenes on the surfaces of the canvases and reexamines the relationship between the environment and the individual. Meanwhile, Yuen connects the scattered and insignificant parts of life to the stream, contemplating the forgotten values and meanings. Both artists were preserving those transient and unforgettable moments in the form of paintings, reminding us to look at the present, as if to feel and capture the past on their backs that may have existed just before in those fleeting moments. 

Opening: 8/6 (Saturday ) 4-7 pm

Gallery address: Flat365,10/F, Foo Tak Building, 365-367 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai
