Opening Night
Friday 30 May | 6 - 8 pm

Through her painterly abstractions, Crystal Wu explores one of the more complex and elusive human emotions, the sensation known as love. More than wishing to communicate a general impression of love, however, she is interested in dissecting the specific aspects and varieties of that changeable feeling. For instance, the portrayal of love’s courage, as exemplified in the works of the Russian French artist Marc Chagall is one such point of inspiration. In contrast, the comforting aspect of familial intimacy as seen in Paul Gaugin’s painting ‘The Two Sisters’ provides another point of departure. Crystal is a keen traveller, and many of her works are inspired and based on places that she has been to. She also believes that this is a love for nature from her memory. Ultimately, Crystal strives to create a warmth of feeling in her paintings, a mood that is easily connected to love in all its dimensions.

There is a warmth of feeling in her works, one moreover that is easily connected to love in all its dimensions, she said “I feel countless moments of love and being loved in my life, and these intangible feelings turn into a force that drives me to use colours and brushes to express myself freely”.
