Night Walk | CHENG Ting Ting Solo Exhibition Introduction

Gallery EXIT presents CHENG Ting Ting’s latest solo exhibition ‘Night Walk’, showcasing the artist’s new works created in the year since her return to Hong Kong after graduating from a master’s degree in Norway in 2021. During her two years of studying abroad in Norway, the artist experienced an environment, climate, and general atmosphere of life and creation entirely different from that in Hong Kong. The immense difference between the two places has caused a considerable impact on and transformation in Cheng’s creation. The relatively slow pace of life and creation in Norway allowed the artist to freely explore different directions and techniques of painting. The exhibition will open on Saturday 17 September, and will run till 22 October 2022.

The creative trajectory of this exhibition apparently re-enacts the artist’s late night experience in Bergen. During one late night in her first winter there, as she was about to head home and upon finding that there was no more public transport running from the city centre to where she lived, she resorted to walking, following the light rail tracks, bracing the cold and fatigue, staggering forward amidst strange neighbourhoods. After walking for nearly four hours, she spotted a light decoration on a balcony from afar, and recognising it as something she usually saw from home, she knew that she was finally close to home. The moment upon reaching home, she curled up and fell into an exhausted slumber.
