London-based Chinese artist Vay Hy presents a series of ink paintings which are inspired by nature and organic forms in our ever changing landscape.

 

Most of the artworks were created on his studio balcony in London and subjected to the elements of the English weather. It is the combination of harnessing the effects of the natural climate together with the unorthodox use of salt and acrylic in his ink paintings which gives the artworks their unique quality. 

 

By embracing the idea of cycles within nature and incorporating these elements into
the creative process, Hy’s work reflects the tension that can often be found in nature where rain, sun and wind can breathe both life and destruction to the landscape. Each piece is imbued with its own personal history as well as that of the artist in his synthesis of styles, techniques and inspirations.
