Lee Boon Ying (Boon): Cardboard Art at Yrellag Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Over the past couple of years, Boon’s artwork is practically made out of found objects and cardboard. In particular, the latter is a material that is recyclable and environmentally friendly. It also alludes to trade and globalization, and can be related to social issues such as inequality and rights if we think of old people making a pittance out of collecting cardboard on the street. As an art material it has a rich palette and can display lines and directions, lending a fresh angle of view and perception of extra space.

Gallery address: G/F 13A Prince’s Terrace, Central, Hong Kong (Mid-levels escalator: get off once past Caine Road. From Soho, 5 minutes walk uphill.)
