Dreamscape: Group Exhibition of Four Young Contemporary Artists

3812 Gallery is thrilled to present “Dreamscape", our summer show that collectively lifts the veil on a dreamlike realm of floral and natural landscapes rendered in abstract forms. Promising a tranquil, mesmerising experience that invites quiet contemplation, the exhibition features four young artists, each with a distinctive abstract visual language, weaving a liminal space between reality and mirage, consciousness and the subconscious, past, present, and future. 

 

“Dreamscape”, as it is collectively crafted by a host of new blood, seeks to invite viewers on a visually dynamic, lively, and trippy sojourn—one grounded in each individual’s inner space and unfolding into the conscious sphere for introspection, retrospection, nostalgia, as well as a pure appreciation of nature’s simple beauty. Viewers may well find themselves pleasantly lost in contemplation within the kaleidoscopic dream oases affectionately rendered by the five emerging artists.

 

All rendered on the unifying canvas of “flora” and “landscape”, each artist’s nuanced “Dreamscape” reflects a distinct facet of their creative process. Thomas Ngan harnesses the brilliance of illumination, casting light on flora and natural scenes to create a bright-shadowed, eclectic vista that hints at life’s dualities of uncertainty and hope. Joanne Chan’s exuberant blooms, painted in vivid flourishes, transport audiences to the height of spring and summer, inviting them to reconnect with nature’s vitality. Subtle and ornate smatterings of flowers in Kwan Yung Yee’s works contribute to a garden-like sanctuary, soothing and introspective. Curtis Chan’s delicately rendered, minimalist flowers—set against a dreamlike soliloquy—offer a utopian and hopeful coda to the exhibition.

 

Folded between reality and illusion and shrouded in captivating mystery, the exhibition is curated to transport viewers into a shared, coherent, and multi-layered dreamscape. Through masterful technique and bold artistic license, these young artists collectively construct a dream world that transcends surface aesthetics, drawing visitors into profound reflection, both inward and outward.
