Joey Leung Ka-yin – Unpoetic Poems – Oilfish Melon Soup with Egg Drop, 2014
Joey expresses a sense of irony and black humour with her visuals exploring reality and illusion, truth and what’s hidden. One of her painting titled – Oilfish Melon Soup with Egg Drop mocks the artificial food that is completely man-made without any natural ingredients listed in the title. Romantic encounters happen only in movies makes fun of fairy-tale-like narration in movies in the forms of digging clams to speak the brutal truth that coincidence only takes place in drama and movie plots.
