2.0 Two Years of Practice
New Brunswick Visual Arts End-of-Course Exhibition
2.0 Two Years of Practice presents the culminating work of our Grade 12 Visual Arts students Lily Wang and Allen Nong, marking the completion of an intensive two-year journey of exploration, experimentation, and critical inquiry. This exhibition celebrates not only the outcomes of their practice, but also the processes of thinking, making, and reflecting that have shaped their development as emerging artists and designers.
Bringing together distinct yet interconnected bodies of work, the exhibition highlights how both students engage with personal experience and broader social contexts. Through painting, sculpture, design, and digital media, the works on display reflect a strong commitment to conceptual depth, technical refinement, and independent voice.
Allen Nong’s strand of the exhibition explores the psychological dimensions of stress through a series of paintings and a sculptural installation. Using a restrained, largely monochromatic palette, he constructs a visual progression that moves from quiet introspection to states of fragmentation and internalisation. Recurring motifs, such as masks, repeated gestures, and enclosed figures, suggest the pressures of identity, expectation, and mental overload. Complementing the paintings, aseemingly suspended sculptural work introduces colour and material contrast, transforming internal tension into a vivid, physical outpouring. Together, these works offer a nuanced and deeply personal reflection on emotional experience.
In parallel, Lily Wang’s body of work adopts a design-led approach to examine systems of identity, communication, and control. Across four projects, she investigated how individuals navigate technological, institutional, and cultural frameworks. From FaceMate, an app concept inspired by experiences of face blindness and designed to support social interaction, to Invisible Hand, which reconsiders suppressed forms of expression within educational spaces, the projects demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with real-world issues. Experimental digital work further explores the transformation of language and resistance in contemporary culture, while a final project examines identity through immersive social experiences, highlighting the fluid and constructed nature of the self.
What unites these practices is a shared commitment to questioning what is often taken for granted, how we perceive others, how we express ourselves, and how we define who we are. Both students demonstrate an ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visual forms, working across disciplines with confidence and clarity.
As an end-of-course exhibition, 2.0 Two Years of Practice represents both a conclusion and a beginning. It reflects the growth of Lily and Allen over two years of dedicated practice, while also pointing toward their future pathways in the arts and beyond. We invite the school community and the wider public to engage with these works and to support our students as they take their next steps as creative thinkers and practitioners.
The exhibition will be open at the 3F Visual Arts Gallery at the Canadian International School of Hefei from 13 to 31 April 2026.
