a friendly distance

Blank Canvas, Penang, 2023

This exhibition is an expression of the artist’s reflections during his residency on the island of Penang and the sense of familiarity the place shares with his home in Hong Kong. Expressed through the lens of nostalgia and melancholy, Yeung captures the space and distance that exists between every interaction. From the distance between two individuals, the spaces found in our surroundings; to the abstract gaps between traditions and cultures, the exhibition plays into the duality of moving towards a contemporary alternative and the longing for an obsolete past that is slipping through.
