“Home and Away cont.” is an exhibition focusing on the pervasively uncanny changes that have occurred in the past years. At its core, it is a reflection of the artist’s mentality towards these unpredictably shifting times. Yet in retrospect, Chak's paintings and drawings are not aimed at conveying a particular message. Rather it can be considered as an open-ended search-- an introspection for who we are. Through the process of rationalization, the artist and the audience are being transformed; while we try to decipher the meaning behind the visuals, we have been reconstituted by becoming a part of the recreation, or the outcome of the contextual internalization.

Such a conclusion has come to fruition in Chak’s paintings. In depicting the coastlines and islands of Hong Kong, the artist has transfigured them into a bunch of no man’s land. There are only trees, hills, rivers and skies. The lonesome island has reverted back hundreds of years to a time when inhabitants did not exist. The physical realm has been reduced to pure aesthetics and pictorial elements (forms, lines, composition and color). Without the secular, issues of subject vs. object, governor vs. governed, and the turmoil of Hong Kong’s colonial history are all wiped clean. What is left are the cold breeze and the brightly lit moon, leaving civilians’ to wonder the utmost triviality of their everyday concerns.

展覽「離合聚散」，焦點投放近年本土經歷的諸多異變，藝術家根據自身體驗，對處境和人事去留作出反映;不如這樣說好了，這組「反映」並不在乎傳達或述說什麼，它的真面目只不過一場無定向的自我探索,緣於這開放/不確定態度,作者和觀眾(在觀看後)竟又轉化成藝術品的延伸，變作文本再創造的成果，意思即我們嘗試解讀作品,結果也重新塑造了自己！

通過充滿地方色彩的抽象景致,作家傾力描寫香港的島嶼及海岸,然而作品一律渺無人煙,彷彿對現況刻意減省無視,只談美學風月(造型、線條、構圖及色彩),卻又暗含玄機，畫框內小島回復原先的荒蕪,山樹蒼蒼,綠水悠悠，孤島不再苟且主僕、統治者與被統治、帝國殖民的紛擾，明言人生短暫，明月清風，俗世人何苦事事強求。
