Tobe Kan's Mystic Blue Botany
View through Artsy
The mystic blue botanical paintings by Tobe Kan (b. 1984, Hong Kong) allude to the complicated existence of humanity between the boundaries of life and death. Apart from embodying the human conditions of fragility, plants are also the projection of an otherworldly realm. While her primary usage of blue palettes signifies birth and a new beginning, there is also a sense of disconnection and dissonance in the obscured background.
