關於展覽 / About Exhibition :

「釋放」 為Vera Chiu在這新日常後的第一個展覽。當世界在不安中渡過時，Vera的生活亦走上靈性之路，並為她帶來新的傳奇與挑戰。她的抽象畫作反照著這演變。 這展覽將一層一層的展現她的真我。從來，別人也認定她藝術家的身份，但她自己偏偏不敢承認。在充滿疑惑與擔憂時，她堅持創作，但當中的情感就此被埋沒。近來，她開始體驗並釋放出畫中感情。她終於領悟到，她是注定當藝術家的。 「釋放」中的畫作是她感到迷失、被困和被遺棄時創作的。同時，更有反映了她的喜悅、感悟和成就的藝術品。來跟她踏上完全誠實和充滿動力的情感發洩之旅。這些作品訴說著藝術家的靈魂。同時，也讓你這個觀眾可趁機釋放自己情感。

“Exhibition Release” is Vera Chiu’s first solo exhibition after the ‘new normal’ lifestyle. As the world is experiencing uncertainty, Vera had gone through her own spiritual awakening that placed her into a new world of wonders and challenges. Her abstracted creations reflected the reactions to this evolution. The exhibition folds out in many layers. No matter how much praise she had previously received for her talent, Vera persistently falls into disbelief. She continued to create through periods of doubts and worries, but emotions expressed are being buried and ignored. Recently, she started acknowledging and releasing the true feelings within her art. She finally sees that she is destined to be an artist. Exhibition Release consists of artworks made whilst the artist felt lost, trapped and abandoned. Simultaneously, there are pieces reflecting her joy, realisation and triumph. Embark on a journey of emotional outlet expressed with complete honesty and dynamic strength. These are artworks speaking the artist’s soul. In the meantime, it is also a chance for the viewer, you, to liberate your own emotions.
