About
Au Kin Wai Johnny mainly works with painting, drawing and installation conceptually, delving into powerlessness in our daily lives and social environments. Drawing inspiration from the interactions around him, he employs a repetitive methodology to uncover the emotions and core essence of powerlessness in daily life. In his work, he takes pleasure in experimenting with various everyday objects, investigating their materiality and context while examining how they align with his conceptual development. Repetition and the use of ready-made objects serve as an integrated element that creates tension, capturing the emotions of these interactions. By embracing the imperfection and powerlessness found in the repetitive process, His artwork reflects our shared experiences, revealing the human condition and our resilience.
