Description
This series of work features a selection of small-scale paintings produced from 2016 to 2018. Created solely in oil on canvas and paper, Lau’s work tends to inhabit small surfaces no larger than 42 by 52 cm. Though similar in size and style, each painting is distinguished by its presence and state, embodying a character of its own that is as emotional as much as it is tonal. Each small frame holds a window into the passage of mind Lau was in when she created the work. She sees painting as a meditative act — the process of lines, colours, and forms coming together largely guided by intuition rather than by following a pre-existing plan. The forms she paints, which range from gestural ovoids and rectilinear shapes to abstract depiction of landscape and ordinary objects, present to us a raw sense of intimacy and vulnerability, drawing viewers into her meditative ambiguity.
