Blindspot Gallery is pleased to present “Yooyun Yang: With Hands”, the South Korean artist’s debut solo exhibition in Hong Kong. With a background in Korean ink wash painting, Yang paints and builds up layers of diluted acrylic on Korean traditional paper, Hanji, which is made from the mulberry tree bark. Yang’s realist paintings of cropped close-ups of people, places and objects are like disjointed excerpts unveiling fragments of a narrative. Incorporating light and shadow to conjure an enigma, Yang’s paintings which stem from journalistic images and personal snapshots evoke jamais vu, turning the mundane into visceral and uncanny tableaus.

Gallery address: 15/F, Po Chai Industrial Building, 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road
