La solitudine e l’isolamento della vita urbana nei dipinti di Gwen Yip

  • 23 January 2018

Gwen Yip è un’illustratrice, art director e pittrice di Hong Kong, formatasi a Londra e attualmente stanziata in New Jersey.
Quando non lavora per qualche cliente, passa il tempo a dipingere “i volti di chi conosce e le schiene di chi non conosce”. Backs è una serie di dipinti bellissima che si divide in 3 città: New York, Hong Kong e Londra. Ogni dipinto ritrae la solitudine universale della vita di città. L’identità ignota dei suoi protagonisti invita lo spettatore a immaginare la loro storia, a riconoscervi qualcuno, a immedesimarsi.

We all carry things on our backs.
Some shoulder burdens and regrets and
others carry dreams and hopes.
Some scarcely bear them and
others delightedly bring them wherever they go.
What do you carry on your back?
