是次展覽中,兩位本地藝術家通過對城市的空間和環境進行解構及轉化,以嶄新的角度探索城市種種獨特的現象,遂創作出一件件匠心獨具的雕塑裝置作品。在創作的過程中,二人發掘到都市人許多的深層回憶,藉以刻劃並呈現出我城的靈魂所在。
陳軒明的最新雕塑裝置系列「traces of the city」,巧妙地將城市中獨特的面貌,如天際、街道、巷子及公共空間等日常生活中處處可見的景象,轉化成饒富意味的圖像,教人加以細味。陳閃的裝置系列「CityKite」,旨在以風箏製作的傳統手工藝,映出都市化對我們的影響。在繁囂的都市中放風箏,似乎是不太可能的;陳閃藉其作品,將都市人比喻為城市天際上幾近絕跡的風箏,以揭示風箏(即都市人)的夢想與希冀,追求自由,不受驅束。

YY9 Gallery is pleased to present "Poetic Space", a joint exhibition by Arthur Chan and Sim Chan. In this exhibition, the two local artists will present their latest series of artworks which provide a brand-new perception of poetic space via the transformation and deconstruction of architecture in the cityscape into creative works of interactive installation. Through the process of art creation, both manage to create a metaphorical narrative that depicts the hidden memory and hence defines the soul of the city.
Arthur's latest sculpture series, "traces of the city", transforms some peculiar silhouettes of the city into various forms of pictorial representation, which capture unique shapes and scenes we see every day such as the outlines of skyscrapers, streets, back lanes and open spaces. Sim’s sculpture series, "CityKite", aims to reflect the impact of urbanization by means of traditional craftsmanship — kite making. While it is often seemingly impossible to fly a kite in a crowded city, the artist intends to create his latest series of artwork as an analogy between the urban dwellers and the banned kites in the city, revealing and symbolizing the dream of kites and hence urban dwellers to fly free from all the constraints the sake of freedom.
