Local artist Lai Sio Kit presents his works from April 12 until May 15, 2019 at the Macau Art Garden. Gradually moving away from the urban scenery in recent year, Lai Sio kit’s latest series of forest viewscapes have brought with them bracing possibilities; initially, he began painting with the uncharted territory of the ageing city left undisturbed, as he went on to inquire the ‘illusive and precipitous mountain ranges’ manipulated from his aerial perception of the forest.
In place of his developed series dominated by the bird’s-eye view, he is now to present landscapes synthesized at the eye-level. It is Sio Kit’s intension to retain a lower viewpoint; as he sees grass sprouting, entwining trunks and windswept limbs, the river runs in a sloping cascade. His images are rendered with obsessive details, characterized by remarkable textures and mellow tonalities; his downward gaze led us to see beauty in mundanity. The exhibition “Eternity in an Hour – Works by Lai Sio Kit” features a latest series of forest viewscapes paintings created by Lai Sio kit.
