Exhibition: Create negative space in your life with coffee

Dry leaves and the shed skin of snakes are withered and lifeless. We usually pay no attention to them.

But when we observe the negative space created by these lifeless objects on paper, the details of their forms pop out, revealing traces of their former life. The delicate drawn lines in these works mark the points of interaction where leaves and snakeskin meet paper, highlighting the negative space in the background. The streaks of coffee accentuate this harmony between the negative space and drawn lines further, enriching the layers with even more complexity.

This negative space is not merely a white space in the background. It is speckled with gold, giving rise to a soothing combination of colors that offers viewers the peace and leisure to breathe and think deeply.

As you look at these works, you are also creating a negative space in your heart and mind and letting my art fill it in. This negative space inside you is not an empty space. It prompts you to reflect on your life—does your packed schedule every day make your life vivid and meaningful, or does it make it empty and exhausting?

The recent political and social turmoil in Hong Kong has made us all feel angry, exhausted, and helpless.

Grab a cup of coffee with me and be at peace.

Create some negative space in your life during coffee time. In this peaceful and quiet space, you can reflect on your life and have a conversation with yourself. You may find something you did not expect there, maybe even a sparkle of light.

As the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "space is the breath of art." I hope these works help you find that space.
