Hong Kong

Cityscapes as dreams

Singapore native Danielle Tay is fascinated by the environment and how natural and manmade surroundings are constructed, perceived and navigated. Her first Hong Kong solo exhibition, The Important Bits, uses collages on paper backgrounds to investigate the planned and unplanned infrastructure of a city with vibrantly colorful textures. The maze-like path in which the collection is exhibited is a microcosm of cityscapes themselves.

10 am-7 pm, Tue-Fri; 11 am-7 pm, Sat; until July 17. Artify Gallery, 10/F Block A, Ming Po Industrial Center, 18 Ka Yip Street, Chai Wan. 852-3543-1260
