Catalogue of Yan Lei's solo exhibition at the Hong Kong Arts Centre in 2006. According to Philip Tinari, Super Lights is a painting series begun in 2005 and based on works by other painters rendered in dramatically divided monochormes. 'His original idea was that these works would exist not as simple reproductions of the originals, but in the same sort of relation to them as a "superlight" cigarette to a stronger one - diluted in power and potency. It is a series theoretically premised on watering down the great works of the past.' Artist biography is provided in the catalogue.
