Indepth Arts News: "The Real and The Mythical: NYEIN CHAN SU" 2008-07-22 until 2008-08-03 Karin Weber Gallery SoHo, , HK Hong Kong
The artist took several documentary photographs and made vinyls from them. Once they were completed, the artist painted on top of them 'collaborating to the dance.' The resulting works show great communication, interaction and significance between the layers.

Exhibition continues to 3rd August 2008.
