Wah Wing Chan
Wah Wing Chan’s theme are non-representational marks that exists on hisdaily walk from his home to his studio. Most people experience their daily lives,unaware of the visual possibilities that surround them, rarely realizing thatnon-figurative marks and forms live amongst them. My eye can be drawn to theunobserved artistic possibilities of a crack in the middle of the street, aball of tangled wire, a water stain on the side of a wall, a crinkled-up rustedpiece of metal. My eyes are always searching for these man-made, or natureformed, these neglected visual elements that surround me; things that peoplepasses by without giving them a second glance. Chan’s interested lie increating a dialogue with these gestural marks, textures and forms on thesurface of the paper. In using these neglected mundane visual elements, myintent is to draw inspiration from them, create my own imageries and not torepresent them exactly as they are. It is my desire is to bring these elementsto light, showcasing the unrealized possibilities of these abstract marks tothe public.
