Daily life resembles a multifaceted prism, refracting each person's unique emotions and perspectives. This exhibition presents the delicate observations and artistic interpretations of "life" by part -time lecturer Situ,Jian and student, Tang Pui Lam, from the Faculty of Arts and Design of Macao Polytechnic University Macao. The two creators showcase the hidden poetry and warmth within the ordinary through their distinct styles.
Situ’s thematic work, "Patterns of Home," transforms domestic objects into canvases that carry the memories of life. The "Plant Portrait" series is ceremonially captured in the form of ID photos on stainless steel trays; The "Tea" series and "Parcel" series on the old bedsheet encapsulate the homesickness of students studying abroad and the marks of her wanderings. The carpet and the linen cloth adorned with abstract creases continue her exploration of "youthfulness." she transforms the traces of time into wet paint, seeking youthful possibilities within diverse genres and techniques.
Tang focuses on the theme of "Beauty in Life," capturing fleeting moments of brilliance within the ordinary through still life, landscapes, and portraits. His works, characterized by vibrant colors and compositions, evoke a pure emotional response to the beauty of daily life, reflecting the passion and intuitive understanding of a new generation of artists.
This dialogue between two generations and perspectives invites the audience to rediscover the small yet profound resonances found in the details of life through the exhibited works.
