Gallery EXIT presents Candyce WONG Ka Ying’s exhibition, ‘Merry-Go-Nowhere’, featuring a series of intuitively driven, automatic writing-inspired paintings. Wong’s playful, childlike style combines scribble and collage to construct her imagery. Treating her paintings as distinct objects, she presents them as subconscious manifestations of her psyche and subtle yet shifting feelings.
 
Wong approaches the intuitive assembly of imagery as a visual game. Viewers may recognize individual elements, but the resulting composition evokes an ambiguous, suspended atmosphere. In ‘Maybe it’s a Carsick Dog’, a small anxious dog with three blurred companions looking out the car window, evoke a sense of unease. Similarly, ‘Party Dogs’ portrays two dogs in party attire, yet frozen in time, conveying a mood of awkwardness and perhaps anxiety.

Opening reception: 6 December 2025, 2—5 pm.

Gallery address: 13/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
