ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Platform 11 is one of the earlier works from my Still Frame series, it relate to my interest in observing human activities of metropolitan city lives, be it in a train station, airport, shopping mall, park or any other public spaces. The people in the paintings showed no expressions. Viewed from a distance, they look the same yet they are different. Just like the woman you sit next to on the bus every morning or the man standing at the opposite side of the platform - strangely familiar. The limited contextual details of the backgrounds echo the behaviors of busy city people, who are often so engaged in what they are doing that they ignore their surrounding environment. This ironically provides a perfect setting for viewers to observe the choreographic patterns formed by the citizens. Based mainly on photographs, each painting seeks to capture that something special in what would otherwise have been a mundane scene; someone, somewhere frozen in time. People in the paintings slip off boundaries of the canvases reflect the ongoing human activities. The limited palette further enhance the surreally and dream-like atmosphere of the picture.

Born in Hong Kong in 1979, Stephanie began her training in oil paintings at the early age of 11. After graduating from the London School of Economics in 2001, she continues to explore her potential in fine art, completing two postgraduate diploma courses at City and Guilds of London Art School and Christies Education, as well as a Masters degree in Museum and Gallery Management at the London City University. Stephanie concentrates on refining her skills in painting and developing her highly recognizable Lowry style pictures of tiny human figures in the last ten years. Based mainly on photographs, sometimes Stephanie paints what she sees, and at other times she choreographs the picture. Stephanie currently based in the United Kingdom. She exhibits extensively in UK, USA, Europe and Asia in recent years, including two solo exhibitions with the renowned Art Beatus Gallery in Hong Kong, group shows at La Galleria Pall Mall, Cork Street Open Exhibition, Candid Art Galleries, and participated in numerous art fairs, such as Art Hong Kong, Art Shanghai, Art Tokyo, Asia Contemporary Art Show, Hotel Art Fair, London Affordable Art Fair, Islington Contemporary Art and Design Fair and the New Artist Fair.
