《三个宝》/ Three Treasures
~~~~
Hey KL! I have a little surprise exhibit this week. I have three paintings installed at @thezhongshanbuilding this week, featuring my three grandparents who I was lucky to have gone through lockdown with from March to May this year. I’ve used materials I could source at home (coffee cups, coffee and some brown acrylic paint) to create their portraits. In Chinese, there’s a saying, “家有老人是个宝” (Having an elderly person at home is a treasure). The pandemic made me realize how vulnerable and precious my old folks are, and how lucky I am to have them with me. I got them to give me their best smiles for my photo reference! Two of them are camera-shy, one is less so! This is just a sneak peek; will post more soon!
