Agnes Leung: I Like Expensive Shxt

I Like Expensive Shxt is a solo exhibition by the local Hong Kong artist Agnes Leung Po-Ying, which features her latest series of acrylic paintings, humorously and candidly expresses her outlook on life and brings out the appreciation for the everyday events and things that enable her to create meaningful experiences.

The relationship between experience and material value reveals universal and fundamental pursuits. As people increasingly seek fulfillment in memorable moments and connections rather than amassing wealth, the emphasis is on what truly enriches our lives. This perspective signals a generational shift in priorities, as a result of choosing to invest in life’s small pleasures, emphasizing the emotional significance of every experience rather than focusing solely on the monetary value of each item.

Her work embodies this pursuit of happiness, conveying a desire for deeper fulfillment and reflecting a vibrant and modern lifestyle. Prioritizing happiness over the security that physical possessions can provide, her joy in observing her surroundings is a key factor in stimulating her creativity. Through the use of bold colors, contrasting tones and unconventional compositions, her work conveys captivating visuals. Her figures often feature disproportionate elements, which add a unique charm to her paintings.
