New Release: Law Yui Ning I Made Art Just Because
The Definitive First Monograph of Hong Kong's Youngest Ultra-Contemporary Visionary
Michael Andrew Law Studio is proud to announce the worldwide publication of "Law Yui Ning: I Made Art Just Because," the debut monograph and comprehensive retrospective of the artist known as Rembrandt Law Yui Ning.
Spanning the pivotal years of 2022 to 2025, this landmark volume offers an unprecedented look into the creative evolution of one of Hong Kong's first and foremost ultra-contemporary artists to be published on a global scale. At just five years old, Law Yui Ning has captured the attention of the art world with a body of work that balances raw, kinesthetic energy with a sophisticated understanding of contemporary visual language.
Key Features:- Over 200 Full-Color Illustrations: A lush visual journey through Yui Ning's diverse practice, including his early "Genesis" scribbles, site-specific wall interventions, collaborative canvases, and pioneering digital paintings.
- Curatorial Insight: Featuring extensive essays and catalogue entries by renowned artist and curator Michael Andrew Law, providing deep art historical context-linking Yui Ning's work to masters such as Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Gerhard Richter.
- Bilingual Edition: Fully presented in English and Hong Kong Traditional Chinese, making it a vital addition to international art libraries and Asian art collections alike.
- Exhibition Occasion: Published specifically for the major retrospective exhibition curated by Michael Andrew Law, documenting the artist's formative period with academic rigor and personal intimacy.
"I Made Art Just Because" is more than a collection of images; it is a manifesto on the purity of the creative impulse. From the bustling tables of Hong Kong steakhouses to the walls of a professional art studio, the book chronicles Yui Ning's defiant assertion of selfhood and his masterful control over various mediums. It explores the psychological depth of child development through the lens of high art, challenging our perceptions of what it means to be an "artist" in the 21st century.
This monograph is a must-have for collectors of ultra-contemporary art, educators interested in the "Non-Interference" philosophy of creativity, and anyone moved by the sight of a young mind claiming its place in art history.
