Iron Tree IV 银泥铁树(四) 24x17x29cm, Mixed media, 2013 Grotto Fine Art takes great pleasure in presenting Lam Yau-sum: Cityscape the first one-man exhibition of the talented Hong Kong artist at Grotto. Featuring oil paintings and his new miniature sculpture, this exhibition marks the debut of the artist’s extraordinary miniature landscape sculpture series. Lam Yau-sum’s new miniature landscape provides an interesting interpretation of this ironic question. Using a computer circuit board as the sculpture’s main frame, Lam painstakingly removes the wirings from the board and “rewires” them into a tree. The composition becomes essentially a street scene. It resembles a typical urban landscape that features more (if not all) man-made objects than natural plantations. The figure within appears comfortably indulged in his own activities, unaware and unaffected by this uncanny surroundings. In fact, the entire scene of Lam Yau-sum’s “cityscape” is fabricated yet it looks utterly familiar.
