Oil Paintings Reflecting Time and Existence

Description

In The Embrace of Oxidation, Ken Chan King-long presents a nuanced exploration of objects imbued with history, examining them as markers of existence that celebrate life’s splendour. His oil paintings, drawing from personal experiences, transform decaying subjects into unique entities that infuse new life and meaning into the stories they tell.

Oxidation serves as a metaphorical anchor for the exhibition, symbolising both decay and endurance. Works like “Rust in the pond” and “Candela” poignantly parallel human experience, capturing the beauty of life’s journey and the trails of growth and memory. Chan’s use of high-contrast colours and textured layering enhances the depth of his paintings, inviting viewers to uncover their own narratives and meanings.
