One Place After

Exhibition Period: 10 December 2024 – 3 January 2025

Opening Ceremony: 14 December 2024, 5-7 P.M.

 

​

A place means more than an inhabited space. For Polly Lo, it is her daily nutrient and a place to meditate. “One place After” is the term she come up in her mind when she paints. In Lo’s paintings a place is an image, an image transcends inhabited spaces, representing its consciousness and interpretation through her perspective and projection of emotions.  

 

Lo found her inspirations from the stairs she always walks by during the way to her studio. In art and photography, staircase can evoke a sense of intrigue, leading the viewer to question what lies beyond or above. As an element embedded in her paintings, she regards it as a symbol of movement, transformation, and mystery, echoes with the location of the gallery, resting by the side of the continual staircase spreading around the middle-levels.

 

Yrellag Gallery is pleased to present “One Place After”, solo exhibition by Polly Lo. Places being depicted are extracted from representations of the real world, infused with style, reminiscence, and thoughts, reflecting from its colours, brushstrokes, and composition. Through artist reinterpretation of her innermost images, ideas, emotions and memories of these places, paintings are imbued with vividness and new meaning.

 

The exhibition opening will be held on Saturday, 14 December 2024 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and will be on view from 10 December 2024 until 3 January 2025. The artist will be present during the opening.

一個地方不只是一個有人居住的空間。對羅氏而言，這是她每日的滋養和冥想的空間。

 

「One Place After」是她在繪畫時心中浮現的名稱。在羅氏的作品中，一個地方化為圖像，一個超越物理空間的圖像，透過她的視角和情感投射，帶出她對地方的一些解讀。

 

羅氏從她前往工作室時常經過的樓梯中汲取靈感。在藝術和攝影中，樓梯彷彿帶來一種神秘感，讓人們思考前方和後方的事物。作為她畫作中的元素，她將樓梯視為神秘的象徵，呼應畫廊的位置，恰好呈現蜿蜒於中環半山的古老樓梯。

 

Yrellag 畫廊榮幸呈獻羅佩文個展《One Place After》。所描繪的地方是從現實世界的表現中提取出來的，這些回憶和思想，從她的色彩、筆觸和構圖中反映出來。透過藝術家對這些地方的內在的圖像、想法、情感和記憶的重新詮釋，繪畫被賦予了生動和新的意義。

 

展覽開幕將於 2024 年 12 月 14 日星期六下午 5 點至7點舉行。展覽時間為2024 年 12 月 10 日至 2025 年 1 月 3 日。
