‘Modernism and Decay’ follows on from Yuen’s continual fascination with the concepts of angular forms present in modernist contemporary architecture and the beauty in the continual degradation of steel exposed to the natural elements. Yuen plays with ambiguity and tension between positive and negative space. These works are a study of light and shadow, the manipulation of decay, and perspective.
