Yin Yen Sun, ‘How did it go’ 2010, Emboss Dye Print and Plaster Cast, 427 x 320 z 250cm “I would like to express the phenomenon and process of our living environment that is gradually changing through this artwork. I use soft fabrics to hint on the powerless traditional buildings. Silkscreen printings acts as a video that narrates paragraphs of stories, just like a seal that cannot obliterate, it records and witness our history. The ordinary feeling from fabrics gives us a familiar and comfortable feeling, and this have also contrast with the repetition of modern civilization, regular pattern and rationality of human. Therefore, the creation of clay modeling expresses the modern machine-like lifestyle.” YIN YEN SUN

As they don war armature and strike a ready battle pose, these toy figures, in spite of their association with playtime, take on larger than life roles in playing out a veiled critique on the real world challenges faced by the artist.

Friends similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other-those are what these friends share between each other. Friends get together to have this exhibition with art as their most common interest. Hopefully what interests them most will become a priceless treasure later in their lives. A GROUP ART EXHIBITION
