Concrete Abstraction: Road Triptych Concrete Abstraction: Road Triptych is a motion painting that takes Hong Kong’s urban topography as its canvas. Road markings explode and contract across three synchronised screens in a portrait of the otherwise overlooked paints and stains that adorn the city’s streets.
