Though heavily absorbed in traditions and histories of painting, Francis Yu has spent recent years working around it’s periphery.

Winnie Pun incorporates found objects and constructed situations as a proxy for painting.
Lee Kit expands painting to domestic and communal situations often blurring the spaces between art and life.
An Gee Chan’s oversized mono screenprints and etched vernacular ceramic ware incorporate painterly gesture and spontaneity into the realm of printmaking.
This exhibition presents bodies of work that probe the edges of painterly practice.

An artists dialogue on the occasion of the opening will facilitate a discussion by the artists on their relationship to painting and how they negotiate these edges.
