Lot Essay
The work of Clairelynn Uy is one that transforms mundane reality into a liberating context of freedom and fantasy. Her art is a means of navigating the chaos of the contemporary urban landscape by creating a space where creativity and imagination is allowed free reign. Through her use of the striking uniformity of pop graphics and the imagery familiar to us through our own experience of modern society, Clairelynn's art opens a window into a half-forgotten world of innocence and wonder as we are transported to a realm of the fantastical. Returning us to a position of child-like fascination with the world, her art challenges the rigid structures of daily life.
Ann and Andy; and the Sugar Bubbles (Lot 625) captures the deep core of childhood emotions. The use of patchwork toys as the key focus of the painting brings forth a whole range of meaning uncovering themes of memory, expression, and the desire to play that is often lost past the years of childhood. Clairelynn Uy encourages us to revisit the carefree approach towards life that characterized our early engagement with the world. The work is charming and humorous, and offers a lighter perspective on the way we navigate through the daily pressures and expectations of life. Advocating an approach to the world through a lens of whimsy and with a sense of wonderment, the present lot is characteristic of the artist's fresh and uplifting style.
