Lola Law (b. 2003) recently received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Lola’s paintings and drawings delve into the intricate relationship between instinct and thought, exploring the inherent tensions between these two powerful forces. Themes of identity, vulnerability, resilience, and transformation emerge as she examines the tensions between internal and external realities. Bodily presence is implied through abstracted forms, suggestive contours, and the energetic choreography of marks across the picture plane. These elements speak to embodied experience while resisting fixed narratives. Through colour, form, and mark-making, Lola aims to evoke a sense of connection, one that acknowledges both the fragility and strength of shared humanity.
