Norris Yim Hong Kong - China
These illusory and dark portraits are part of Yim’s ‘Nameless’ series, where, through the black-and-white palette, the artist reflects on the present situation in Hong Kong, and the hypocritical essence of human life-style in the capitalist society. In order to survive, people bury their natural appearance, so their names are no longer important. New faces replace the old ones, and soon, even heavy makeup becomes a new type of selfforgetting, filled with falsehood and fear.

Yim’s abstract works raise the topics of individuality and selfexpression and are based on three principles: observation, memory and imagination.
