The City beyond The Trees - 6 Painting

In this series of landscapes, I intend to express my intimate feelings about the London cityscape, drawing from my own experiences as a foreign - born Londoner. I want to convey how the physical environment, the multi-faith, and mixed cultures have made a unique transformation in my works. By emphasising the city’s crowdedness rather than the countryside's emptiness, I explore the gap between the modern cityscape and the traditional Chinese landscape. Through this cityscape project, I intended to explore the in-depth relationship between one's self-being and the inhabited space. Capturing the most common scenes that we encounter in everyday life, the cityscape challenges us to re-vision, rethink, and reflect on the way we perceive ourselves and our surroundings which we often neglect and forget. The simplified and symbolic human figures in the paintings act as rushing strangers in the modernised city streets, echoing the realism of our busy day-to-day lives. Time after time, we squeezed through the crowded shops, passing by each other without knowing each other's existence. We are so near, yet so far away. Are we content in this materially abundant city? Are we bound by our own desires?
