Boo Sze Yang’s recent paintings reimagine the city as a place of movement, memory, and possibility. Drawing from familiar architectural structures and the landscape, he transforms these elements into layered, dreamlike spaces.

​

By blending structured elements with fluid brushwork and translucent layers, the paintings balance order and spontaneity. Geometric frames evoke construction, mapping, and design, while washes of colour and atmospheric textures suggest water, light, and natural elements. This interplay creates scenes that feel both urban and organic, echoing how cities evolve through time.

​

The recurring presence of water and open blue spaces introduces moments of calm amid dense architectural forms, creating compositions that feel expansive rather than overwhelming. These works frame the city as a living environment shaped by movement, light, and shifting perspectives.

​

Together, they offer a hopeful view of contemporary urban life; one that acknowledges complexity yet allows space for renewal, balance, and imagination
