Last year’s Nando’s Art Initiative fine art grand prize winner Hug Yin Wan will host his first solo exhibition, The Crow. His work incorporates natural materials like plywood as well as wood-cut and oil paint techniques and is inspired by his experiences and fascination with the Buddhist concept of impermanence. The Crow that draws from Chinese culture has inauspicious connotations and symbolises the arrival of death. View the artworks at Lot 123, Nando’s Art Space at Chinatown till Dec 8.
