Yu-Chen Wang: I'm Going To Where You're Coming From

Yu-Chen Wang has been invited to create an ongoing assemblage at Hayward Gallery’s Concrete café, which will gradually change over the course of the exhibition. Coloured pencil drawings will organically mutate and develop into collage, with tentacles eventually veering off the page to embrace parts of the café usually ignored - light switches, cables, and plugs.

Amorphous shapes, tentacles, orchids, guns and machines can all be seen in Yu-Chen Wang’s complex and absorbing drawings. The abstract pencil and watercolour markings suggest traces of a parallel universe or science fiction scenery, with fluid and wispy lines resembling mysterious architecture and superfluous floating islands from an unknown space or time.
