Between amazing and calm down , Calm down is the birthday cake . Walk under pretty fresh air , let clean the brain empty the soul, fully lost mind. Feel it without words. Going back to a sunraise canvas.

To leave another stop, the magic was lost magic. Whenever I got painting mood, always around something else interrupted. Living in this environment, their most simple requirements, but also difficult.
Day by day means pass away. Virtual words Zero distance, authentic weight like dust. What is app? Are we can Chat? Not draw Face on Book, go in Your Transparent tube. Knowledge become Seniority open silence and speechless side. express belong to hide.
“Recently, Macau has undergone tremendous changes, from a tiny village, unknown, to a metropolitan city. Being a local, I can feel every trace of the surrealistic atmosphere…”
Leo Yuen Wai Ip transfers his deepest affection and sentiments towards his home city on the canvas. Through the use of bold colours, exaggerated expressions, absurd sense of composition and abstract figures, Leo lets the heart guides the brush and his works are full of personality giving a sense of “Don Quixote” style black humour. Leo refuses the traditional visual aesthetic appeal but focuses on the experience of inner emotions and reflections on humanity and living realities. There are no beauties or scenery but narratives of dynamic or quiet scenarios – a party, a living character, a business occasion, wine glasses, bed…Leo uses metaphors to depict the changes in the times of Macau. His usual birds, nudes and abstract background of casinos express one’s perspectives towards the gaming industry, outsiders, colonialism and the type of society we are living in. These works express personal alienation from a rigid social system, show the pressure of a bustling city on an individual, and tell a complex human relationship of intrigue. All these basic human emotions are integrated into every bit of Leo's works triggering reflections.
Leo was born in Macao in 1974. He is an artist, a designer, person-in-charge of August 13 design company, Rarely active in the local painting and artistic circles, humble and very low-key; nevertheless, for Leo, each piece of his works is an abbreviation of a real life journey unlocking onto his inner-self.
