Chewy Yap’s exhibition “In gratitude” is a deeply personal and introspective journey through the artist’s life and creative process. Through her signature style of collaging and painting, Yap explores the duality of existence, juxtaposing order and disorder, control and letting go, precision and random chance. These contrasting elements mirror the artist’s own multifaceted identity, encompassing her roles as an engineer, artist, and individual.

Yap’s artistic process is an embodiment of surrender and trust. She begins each painting with an open mind, allowing the artwork to unfold organically. This approach reflects her belief in the power of intuition and the unknowable, echoing the unpredictability of life itself. The resulting artworks are a testament to Yap’s courage and vulnerability as she lays bare her emotions and experiences on the canvas.

The exhibition is a celebration of Yap’s artistic journey and her gratitude for the creative spark that ignites her soul. It invites the viewers to embark on their own introspective journeys, exploring the complexities of their own identities and the transformative power of art.
