Tse Man Hei, Aaron

Tse Man Hei, Aaron’s paintings convey a strange sense of tension by illustrating figures who have contorted into peculiar poses. Alluding to Tse’s previous painted series titled Lean On, the presented works in this exhibition, Ground Zero and Tippy Toes also use a male and a female figure as the subject of focus. They pose in the same position whilst situated on top of a khaki background, which ultimately forms a nonsensical image. Both figures within the painting are seen as static and tame, but a push pull relationship has been carefully sheathed in between them. Not only does this sculpt a composition that becomes difficult to comprehend, it also reflects what Tse feels towards the current state of society.
