The city means different things to different people. Our perception of the city is not a constant but ever changing. In this show, six artists ‘enter’ the city through different vantage points, and explore its colours and contours in unique ways. In their work, they offer fresh and diverse perspectives, subtly hinting at the city’s delights and mysteries; symbols and emblems; shades and nuances; burdens and trappings; relationships and contradictions. The paintings in this exhibition are not just pretty pictures or empty slogans. They are little vignettes of and delicate commentaries on the city; each one presented with intimate feeling, contemplation and unpretentious understanding.
