Can we write our own myth?

This year’s HKOP Award recipient Lisa Cheng Ying-yan presents her solo exhibition “The Story We Can Not Perceive”, bringing together her recent intaglio and woodblock prints with a series of original poems that unfold like a stage play. Through this interplay of image and text, the exhibition invites viewers into a mythological narrative world.

Having studied printmaking in Italy, Cheng’s practice is shaped by classical aesthetics and an ongoing exploration of themes such as fate, life and death, and peace. With a background in painting, she depicts figurative scenes and, through the experimental nature of printmaking, its rich layers and intricate marks, she opens up spaces of imagination and narrative, within which she seeks hope.
