Endless Night:
a visual diary

Thomas Fung

02 Jul - 23 Jul 2023

Yrellag Gallery is honored to present "Endless Night: A Visual Diary", a solo exhibition by artist Thomas Fung Yee Tin. The exhibition will be held from July 2nd to July 23rd, 2023, and will feature a selection of Fung's figurative oil paintings that capture the essence of dreams and daily fragments.

​

Fung's paintings are a reflection of his belief that dream imagery is both unutterable and realistic. Research has shown that humans can only remember a small percentage of their dreams each night, making these images even more remarkable.

​

According to Fung, these dream fragments are not necessarily derived from our daily experiences, yet they reflect a state of mind that is often even more vivid than reality. Fung draws inspiration from these fragments, he always revisits these fragments from his dreams, converting them into keywords or statements, and then transforming them into symbols that reflect the interplay between consciousness and unconsciousness, trying to sort out his own thoughts in mind.

​

The exhibition will open on July 2nd, and the artists will be present at the opening reception. We invite everyone to visit our gallery to learn more about the ideas in the artist’s symbolic and dreamlike works of art.

​

這是一個關於夢境和生活零碎交錯的展覽。

​

觸曲厓以縈繞,駭崩浪而相礧《郭璞;江賦》

​

夢境的意象難以言喻而真實，作為一種比表象真實更真實的意象，它來回往返的在生活中縈繞。坊間有研究指出 95%的夢境內容會在夢醒後被忘記，剩餘的 5%卻是一種現實的寫照。

​

日誌記錄的與其看為一種繪畫影像，不如說是一個或一堆的符號。它某程度上作為一種繪畫者意識和無意識之間的投射，梳理著畫者自身的思緒。

有關禁忌

​

世界(或是族群)之間充滿著形形色色的禁忌。在觸碰一刻必須不由自主地鬆手,以免夜長夢多。它們卻像一群烏鴉在你頭上盤旋，嘲諷著生活上的無聊，虛假和荒謬。
