MAYA HEWITT
b. 1981, London, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London, UK. Maya Hewitt is an English painter whose work has a subtle Asian influence, inspired by Japanese culture as well as by her half-Filipino heritage. A talented figurative painter, Hewitt’s exotic narrative landscapes form an artificial space, constructed and staged in a state of suspension. They travel between the real and the fictional, between human and supernatural energies, and between artifice and nature. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, and use symbols to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Personal symbolic objects draw references from across time, cultures and myths.

10 Chancery Lane Gallery is pleased to announce London-based artist Maya Hewitt's first Hong Kong exhibition. Maya Hewitt uses symbolic narrative to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative. Her paintings have a luring Asian presence partially derived from her attraction to Japanese flat paintings where she studied at the Nagoya University of Art and a mysterious intrigue with the Far East obtained from her half Filipino parentage.
