Genie Hui and Jinki Lau: Penetrance at Art Space 1999


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

The two artists use different materials to explore the ideas of “boundaries,” “fusion,” and “process.” Through experimenting and changing their mediums, one artist combines painting into sculpture, and the other from images to objects. Both are showing a space between merging and separation.

Genie Hui turns the “monsters” in her paintings into sculptures, and by mounting xuan paper on ceramic boards, she blurs the line between painting and object, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, fantasy and reality.

Jinki Lau uses clays for prints. She layers overlapping and distorted images on a single surface, and through repeating the process of printing, familiar images slowly lose their shape. This creates new ways of seeing and new senses of time.

Opening: 5/7 (sat) 4-7pm
Venue: Artspace 1999 10/F, Foo Tak Building, 365-367 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai
