About the artwork

Vic - Yu draws influence from the impressionism and pointillism art movements, re-creating a new essence in them with his exceptional style. The scenes depicted by Yu are largely impressionistic, capturing the essence of the natural environment in an unprejudiced ambience. He borrows the use skewed perspectives from impressionist to impose a sense of unfamiliarity, drawing attention to the subjects that calls for our consideration. The significance of pointillism is most obvious in the rendering of Yu’s subject, as he embraces the traditional approach with new techniques and medium. Yu fully expands the capabilities of pointillism, seen in the masterful succession in creating a landscape with fine tones of shades and details, reinvigorating the its spirit.
