This series of Chromogenic prints by Ying Kit Chan explore the subject of contemporary urban landscapes. Conceived with snapshots of industrial monuments and scenes, these forms are shrouded with charcoal marks and ink washes. The images underneath explore the tensions between the energy of nature and the man-made clutter of urban environments. The smooth surface of the work appears tranquil and aloof, presenting a sanctuary for the observers to meditate and reflect. Elements of traditional Chinese calligraphy interact with graphic motifs and mundane shapes. Flowing above the architectonic skeletons and masses of billowing clouds and smoke, these temperamental marks contemplate the growth and decay in modern life. VIEW ARTWORK
