Nature is more than inspiration
Print Edition
For artist Vay Hy, nature is not just an inspiration, but an integral part of his creative process.
This shines through clearly in his solo exhibition of 10 selected works 鈥 sometimes unsettling, sometimes calming and often both 鈥 at the FQ Projects gallery in Shanghai.
Composed of many layers of hidden detail, each work engages the viewers to meet and interact with ink and water, merging with and fleeting to and from the acrylic colors to form a sea of various elements.
Hy is interested in the investigation of the very nature of each media he uses.
In the case of ink and water, he is trying to expand and redefine the media by adapting many innovative ways of working, such as standing the paper vertically and employing a water hose to manipulate the ink around the surface.
With a degree of control he allows the natural flow of the water to greatly determine the marks and shapes of the art works.
The wax works are also formulated by burning and melting the wax to a liquid to allow a natural merger of patterns and colors which create its own 鈥渋dentity uniqueness.鈥
The different textures and forms found in the paintings refer to and echo the feelings stirred by nature itself.
Hy, born in the 1960s in Vietnam, grew up in the UK with a Western education. Yet his family always kept Chinese traditions at heart. He thinks 鈥渁bstract works have their own vitality and attraction, in many ways it is the wonderful connection between the work and the viewers that define the meaning and importance of a work.鈥
