An often unnoticed moment of family life takes centre stage in Joel, Tess and Haze.
For Chris Huen, the work of an artist is to bear witness to our changing times. He moved to London from Hong Kong during a period of political unrest. Rather than painting the sentiment of upheaval, he focused on the steady movement of the everyday – like the transient nature of the seasons from the greenery of spring to the dappled yellow of mid-September.
Each print from the edition is an experimental variation of the new original work. Hand applied watercolour envelops the scene, upon five layers of silkscreen, each pulled with a unique colour blend.
‘It is about a stage of mind and an understanding of being alive through seeing’.
