Curatorial Words Eric Tsang and Shek Chun-yin are not photography artists. They use different media for their creations. I caught in FB their photography that has moved me a lot. For this exhibition, I have chosen Tsang’s daytime photography and Shek’s nighttime images. Tsang’s photography has enlivened the formality of architecture whilst Shek has broken the same but in a different fashion, the former with humans and the latter with trees. Humans are focus and further enhance the balance of Tsang’s composition; trees are however not exactly focus since Shek has let their branches cover the whole picture. Tsang touches on realism exuded through coincidental encounters between humans and architecture under the sun when Shek turns reality into poetics with shadows of the trees entwined with the architecture in the light of night. Afterall, Tsang is graphic and Shek is painterly. May Fung Feb 2017 About the Artists: Shek Chun-yin got his BA (Fine Art) and Master of Fine Art from RMIT University in 2008 and 2011 respectively.
