Originally, the painting began in 2016, but was left untouched in the studio. I hit a block and didn't know where to proceed. Then shortly after painting the first Le tourbillion de la vie, I pulled out the unfinished piece and completed the piece in a matter of a few days. Heavy, bold brushstrokes showed a new vitality in me as I began making instinctual marks and gestures. There is an intense freedom of expression and movement being conveyed, mirroring the recent life situations of the most challenging kind.

Norm Yip (葉灃) was born in Canada in 1963 by Chinese parents. After studying fine art in Saskatchewan and architecture in Toronto, he moved to Hong Kong where began working as an architect. In 1999, he decided to transition into fine art and photography, following his deeper passion into his personal interests. He formed a collective called Melo-Melo Artist Alliance with several friends. It was then that his journey into art began. Oscillating between photography as a main source of income and painting as a hobby, he began to assert more attention and time to the latter. He has exhibited numerously in both solo and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, and most recently in Bangkok, Italy and New York. He currently resides in his birthplace province of Saskatchewan, Canada where he continues to paint and photograph.
