AT Art & Interiors and Low Tide Properties are pleased to present, Fafa Interlude: Last Night, an exhibition featuring a series of abstract artworks by Canadian Chinese artist Charles Chau (b1963). Curated by Allison Thompson, of AT Art & Interiors, the exhibition is an interim review of artist Charles Chau’s latest body of work — in-between the artist’s debut show of the Fafa series, Why do I paint the flower pink? (Fafa 1, Hong Kong, 2020) and his upcoming exhibition, When do you last kiss the clouds? (Fafa 2, Tokyo, 2024).
Fafa Interlude: Last Night features 33 pieces of the artist’s large-scale paintings, works of Fafa 1 and Fafa 2, some of Chau’s most celebrated body of work and now presented for the first time in Vancouver. These paintings are the artists impressions of nature and the world, changing through time, sharply articulated with his versatile vocabularies of colours. The artist speaks about his work as follows: “We know not every night is the same, nor the form or colours of any event. That this is the moment, and that moment while you seize it is gone. Every night is, in a way, a Last Night.
The only thing one might still get a hold of is perhaps some of the fragmented memories — the smell, the colour, the loose images. And those sensational recollections are subjective or dispositional, perceived differently by everyone.”
