MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present "Low Resolution," Sophie Varin's first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Featuring a most recent selection of miniature paintings that capture mesmerizing landscapes and uncanny characters as well as two human-sized puppet-like sculptures that serve as custodians to the gallery space, the exhibition beckons viewers on a journey of curiosity and investigation.
A new form of artistic experiment for the artist, a series of long horizontal paintings are unveiled for the first time, encapsulating expansive sceneries and miraculous landscapes. These vistas elicit panoramic views gathered from the summit of a mountain, inviting contemplation and reflection. Evoking East Asian handscrolls by their long, narrow format, the works embrace the aesthetics of shanshui paintings—instead of creating a focal point, they orchestrate lines of sight that invite continuous, linear reading.
Opening reception: February 3, Sat, 2—6pm
Gallery address: 202, The Factory, 1 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang
