MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present "Gravesend," Vilte Fuller's first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Depicting humanoid ornaments, questionable characters, fermented or preserved food, and ominous articles of everyday use, paintings featured in the exhibition highlight the artist's persistent research towards her childhood memories of rural England, her Lithuanian heritage, as well as the inexplicable seduction of horror. These recent works contain playful titles and whimsical depictions of seemingly innocent and arbitrary objects and scenes. Taunting the unreality of external reality, Fuller imagines a fake video game and explores alternative, cryptic ways of visual storytelling.

The exhibition title serves as an ode to the town of Gravesend where Fuller grew up—consolidated here is a sense of isolation she experienced and time spent drawing in her childhood years. Tracing the creaky floorboards, memorabilia trinkets, family photographs, and bold decor from the 1970s encountered during her return to her grandfather's house last year, Fuller has also noticed a curious parallel between these objects and the unkept interiors in psychological horror video games. Drawing much reference from P.T. (Playable Teaser), a horror video game that particularly fascinates her, Fuller's canvases resemble film storyboards for a mysterious plot with recurring characters and motifs.
