Grotto Fine Art is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Tin Garden” by Hong Kong artist LAM Yau-sum, taking place from May 13 to June 8 at Grotto SKW. The opening reception is scheduled for May 11th, from 2-6 pm. Artist will be present.  In "Tin Garden," Lam ingeniously employs industrial ready-made objects to craft sculptures depicting flowers, trees, bonsai, and various other artistic creations. By skillfully blending digital elements and lighting effects, he conjures a mesmerizing contemporary urban garden landscape. 

Lam's art consistently reflects his deep concern for the transformation of urban ecology, making it a recurring theme in his body of work. The artist finds inspiration in discarded electronic products, copper water pipes, and wires that are left as waste once their original function is lost in the city. Through collecting and painting on these abandoned objects, he transforms them into a series of new cityscapes. 

嘉圖現代藝術欣然呈獻香港藝術家林佑森個展「錫の園 」。展覽由5月13日至6月8日於嘉圖筲箕灣（Grotto SKW）開放參觀，開幕定於5月11日星期六下午2時至6時，藝術家將出席開幕酒會。本次展覽「錫の園」，林氏運用工業現成物製作花朵、樹木和盆景等雕塑作品，並結合電子版和燈光效果，模擬和創造出燈光璀璨的現代都市園景。

城市生態轉變一直是林氏關注的議題之一，也是他喜歡透過藝術探索的主題。電子產品，水管，電線等是由城市製造出來的現代工業產品。當它失去了本身的功能後，就會變成廢物，再遭城市遺棄。林氏將這些被人們遺棄的產品收集回來重新組合、上色，變成另一種新風景。
