City·Scenery
An exhibition by LO Yuen-yi
If "seeing precedes words", what is the digestive order of images in our minds? Invasion of the screen is as natural as the air nowadays. Being in the city, the scenery that comes into our eyes repeatedly every day may be forgotten as a matter of course. However, it is always possible to have a touching moment. And, it is important to "see" with your heart. The artist painted this piece "City" - "Scenery," invites the audience to pass by the city together - to experience the familiar or forgotten faces that are fading. Although the scenery may be mundane and fragmentary, but are filled with people and their warmth.

“One Day” Lo Yuen-yi
Monograph of the solo exhibition “City · Scenery
“One Day” by Lo Yuen-yi is the monograph of the Exhibition “City · Scenery” held in CCCN Macau. There are 141 pieces of pencil sketching artwork being recorded in the monograph.
