John Young: Spectrumfigures

10 Chancery Lane Gallery presents Hong Kong born, Australian artist John Young in Spectrumfigures, exhibiting a group of abstract paintings, as well as a small group of works he created thirteen years ago — 1967 Dispersion; a recollection of the 1967 riots in Hong Kong, the time he departed the then British colony.

Spectrumfigures, a series of spectrum-based coloured abstracts that celebrate the evolution of consciousness in the younger generation of Hong Kongers of the twenty-first century. The dispersion of radiant light through a prism produces a plurality of colours that mark this generation as a spirited generation of many qualities.
