WHAT
The Hong Kong-Australian artist’s new series of sculptural works are made of painted steel. They consist of interconnected and geometrical patterns with complex relationships of form. ‘The Rubiks’ series comprises pedestal-based works, and they encompass a collection of abstract modules in varying sizes, combined with a dynamic amalgamation of contrasting colours. ‘The Crystals’ series is a collection of wall-mounted works, which represent a separate body of works with additional incisions within the patterns.

WHY
The sculptures investigate ideas surrounding human interaction and relationships, with a specific focus on the contrasting concepts of distance and intimacy, emotions and connections, and complexity and delicacy – signifying the importance of support and collaboration within modern society. The artist is also inspired by colours from everyday surroundings, such as the colours of bike lines, the yellow lines at train stations, and hues extracted from various buildings. Through colours, he envisions a future wherein his sculptures are publicly displayed to synergize and establish a triadic relationship between the surrounding environment, the audience, and himself.
