As the era of pandemic restrictions near the end across the globe, living under circumstances which demanded isolation and social distancing for so long has forced us to show tremendous resilience whilst adapting to the rapidly changing social structure. The group exhibition “Sweeping Vistas” invites six contemporary artists born or based in Hong Kong to present intuitive observations of their inner landscape through sweeping vistas threaded with uncertainty, possibility, and imagination. Our diverse coping methods to the “new normal” is analogous to Cynthia Mak, Elaine Chiu, Gianluca Crudele, Lokz Phoenix, Ticko Liu, and Tobe Kan’s disparate artistic practices.

驀然回首，疫情已經伴隨我們三年多。這段期間的社會急速變化，我們也不得不適應各種的隔離和社交距離措施。這個充滿限制的時代似乎要來到終結，生活在新常態的環境下，藝術家也面對著不同的挑戰。群展「Sweeping Vistas」中的六位藝術家 Cynthia Mak、趙綺婷 (Elaine Chiu)、Gianluca Crudele、Lokz Phoenix、廖諱衡 (Ticko Liu) 和簡喬倩 (Tobe Kan) 皆在香港出生或居於香港，但在創作路上卻有截然不同的方向。他們以巧手繪畫大自然的神怡景致，為這個滿佈未知數的年代增添色彩。
