VIEW IN MY ROOM
Lemuria, No. 2 several months to complete. It was an ambitious start, and then it came to a point where I was struggling to find its way. Nothing was coming out the way I wanted it to, even when I consciously ‘let it go’. And so it sat there on the side. I didn’t even want to look at it. Then one day, I pulled myself together and began to begin fresh, but without white-washing half or all of what I had completed earlier. I recreated a composition and overlaid the existing flesh. It took several more weeks to complete this, always somewhat hesitant of the outcome, and as if by some force, the painting was telling me how to proceed, whereas before, I was leading and forcing it into something that wasn’t meant to be. It has become a new soul, enriched with colors and complexity, chaos and order that is of its own voice. I had to really let go of my inclination to dictate it’s path. So you might ask why I called the painting Lemuria. To me, the place is unknown. It is a mystery that remains unclear. I was searching for the equivalent of Atlantis and found Lemuria, which is supposed to have existed long in the past, in the Pacific or Indian Ocean. As such this mystical place was perfect for the series.

Norm Yip (葉灃) was born in Canada in 1963 by Chinese parents. After studying fine art in Saskatchewan and architecture in Toronto, he moved to Hong Kong where began working as an architect. In 1999, he decided to transition into fine art and photography, following his deeper passion into his personal interests. He formed a collective called Melo-Melo Artist Alliance with several friends. It was then that his journey into art began. Oscillating between photography as a main source of income and painting as a hobby, he began to assert more attention and time to the latter. He has exhibited numerously in both solo and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, and most recently in Bangkok, Italy and New York. He currently resides in his birthplace province of Saskatchewan, Canada where he continues to paint and photograph.
