Two island cities, surrounded by sea, punctuated by mountains – Hong Kong and Penang are related yet distinct, familiar yet strange, close yet distant.
Over Mountain Over Sea explores this gap which connects and separates the two cities. In a body of work created for Blank Canvas’s new home at Lorong Soo Hong in George Town, South Ho Siu Nam, known for his gentle yet perceptive photographs of his hometown Hong Kong, turns his eye on the streets, hills and waters of Penang.
![🚪 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙩 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮 𝟬𝟭 — a 1-day exhibition by 𝗧𝗬 — will be showing this Sunday, 7 Sep 2025 at 2, Argus Lane.
As we bid farewell to 2, Argus Lane, the light will be on for one last time — a solo exhibition by TY, brought from KL to Penang for just one day.
