“Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. … Mystery is nothing. It’s unknowable…” - René Magritte.
Once mystery induces curiosity, curiosity pushes us to discover more about the hidden story. Therefore what lies behind the curtain is all about human curiosity, which is always attributed to one’s psychological condition. Yu Pui Shan, a graduate of the Hong Kong Art School’s Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) programme (majoring in Painting) would like to respond to the audience’s curiosity through the curtain— the motif of her paintings in her solo exhibition. Will this new motif, would it give more imagery space to the viewers? Or will it limit the hints to solving the mystery? Probably it is the core of the exhibition.
「我們看見的所有事物都另藏別的東西…我們常想看到背後隱藏著的…神秘是虛無， 是不明的…」－雷內•馬格利特
當神祕引發起好奇時，好奇就驅使我們去發掘更多背後的故事，於是布簾背後隱藏著的全是關係於人類的好奇，這常歸因於個人的心理狀態。余佩珊，香港藝術學院藝術文學士課程畢業生(主修繪畫)，透過布簾這個圖案於是次展覽「幕後花絮」回應觀眾的好奇。在新的系列作品中她會打破舊有常規，改變以往創作的風格。在這新的創作思想中心，會給觀眾更多想像空間？抑或欠缺了提示去解開謎團？這就是是次展覽的核心所在。
