"Foreigners" is an exhibition by Karen Chan, Cindy Shum, and Queenie Yuen, recording the artists’ thoughts on place, distance, and the linkage between people. While all were raised in Hong Kong, the three artists are now based in different countries. The three shared a new circumstance to adapt to the surrounding environment, whether in a foreign land or remaining in their original place. While Chan translates the foreign culture from a bird's-eye view on the horizon, Shum bridges the gap between the place where she relocated to and the other places with symbols of water in her works, and Yuen rearranges the scattered fragments between her memories and the unfamiliarity of the present, to re-contemplate the land where she’s living. The show comprises paintings of various scales, inviting viewers to follow the artists’ diasporic journey, observe how place shapes our ways of seeing and revisit scattered connections.
