John Pai

John is one of many important creatives that John Yau helps us rediscover in Please Wait By the Coatroom. Spanning from the 1960s through the present, Pai’s active artistic practice could be viewed as a continuing process of evolution whereby the artist connects one fundamental unit to another, and another, facilitating an incremental ritual of accretion where a new whole emerges, one that has been informed by the artist’s exploration of his subconscious, memories, and myriad interdisciplinary interests traversing music, science, Eastern philosophy, and literature.
