Original artwork description:

With the return of bicycle as a modern city transport, Stephanie took cyclists as the subject of her new series. Based mainly on photos, 2 Wheels depicts the human activities cycling in metropolitan city lives.

Based mainly on photographs, sometimes I paint what’s there, and at other times I choreograph the picture. Appear to be floating liberally on the canvas, every single figure is carefully positioned. Just like composing a piece of music, with notations hanging across the lines, creating enchanting melodies, conversing with the spectators.

I want viewers to appreciate the paintings initially through the activity of looking, without interpretation. Stand afar and squint your eyes, get a feel of the picture through its colours and composition, enjoy the poetic movement of the crowds, then gradually drawn to the details of the figures.

Painting continues around the deep edge so give it a 3-dimensional feeling. No framing required.
