The Art Promotion Office today (September 7) launched an exhibition entitled “#ArtTravellers Exhibition Series III: Tracing along the Green Blades” at the 1/F Lobby of Trade and Industry Tower. Featuring works by Carol Lee and Trevor Yeung, two artists specialising in different media, the exhibition showcases unique travelogues which were created with exotic plants collected in their journeys. Through their artworks, Lee and Yeung present new meanings in flora.
Carol Lee preserves blooms by flower pressing, and she has used specimens in her work for this exhibition. Without adding any chemicals to preserve the colours of the plants, nor speeding up the drying process, she simply presses them between pages of her notebook – freezing the natural forms of the plants and capturing her travel memories. Lee started making pressed flowers in 2013, and has now collected around 500 species of plants from Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Trevor Yeung uses plants, including bonsai, as the media to show his interpretation of the similarities between plant behaviour and human relationships, as well as to reflect his personal life experience. For this exhibition, Yeung has employed butterfly palms and plants with mutated white patterns respectively for his works “Mr Universal Butterflies” and “Variegated Island”. He has also showcased the flowerpots he collected while travelling. The artwork “Planter Tower” was created by piling up flowerpots from his collection.
Organised by the Art Promotion Office under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, “Tracing along the Green Blades” is the third phase of the three-year #ArtTravellers exhibition series and will run until March 23 next year. Artists contributing to the exhibition series use different media to encourage viewers to explore the little details one may often miss during a journey, and to reflect on the meaning of travel from a new perspective.
