About The Artwork
THE PLEASURE FACTORY When I was painting this artwork, I was under huge duress from life's problems, and as you can tell, the artwork became highly dark, sexual and sinister. Blue-grey colours embody the canvas and the feeling is of despair. It reminds me of The Hermit card in a Tarot deck, but with many Souls awaiting their judgement call. Could this be Hell or Purgatory? I rather like the darkness of this painting though. Why? Because it reached down into me, and as I said to my friend. It's killing me... these paintings are killing me. The title of the Pleasure Factory is perhaps somewhat sadistic, but when I finished the painting, it felt like an orgy of men at a rave party. It reflects perhaps my memory of such days when I partied hard Bangkok, the druggy atmosphere of sex and men in dark stench-dark places.

Canada
Norm Yip (葉灃) was born in Canada in 1963 by Chinese parents. After studying fine art in Saskatchewan and architecture in Toronto, he moved to Hong Kong where began working as an architect. In 1999, he decided to transition into fine art and photography, following his deeper passion into his personal interests. He formed a collective called Melo-Melo Artist Alliance with several friends. It was then that his journey into art began. Oscillating between photography as a main source of income and painting as a hobby, he began to assert more attention and time to the latter. He has exhibited numerously in both solo and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, and most recently in Bangkok, Italy and New York. He currently resides in his birthplace province of Saskatchewan, Canada where he continues to paint and photograph.
