WHAT

The artist’s exhibition at the gallery encapsulates the visual journal of the restless wanderer-painter in Iceland and Hong Kong. Despite the strong juxtaposition between the two places, Cheng uses atmospheric light, thick textures of oil, vibrant blocks of colours, and strokes of falling snow and rising vapour to evoke a sense of familiarity between the two places. Through the artworks, viewers get a taste for what the artist was feeling: loneliness, a desire for human connection, and love. 

WHY

Most travellers go through indescribable emotions: uncertainty, fear of loneliness, hope for human connection, and the desire for engagement. The artist sums up these feelings perfectly, allowing for a place of understanding. However, this exhibition isn’t only for travellers; it’s also perfect for those who want to witness how much similarity there is around the world in the feelings that some places can inspire.
