A text, an image, and a memory, collaged with fragments of life. From the characters in a narrative to the scenery along the road, pigeons tapping on a window, a desk in the house, a corner of a masterpiece, and a chubby cat at home—interpretation, replication, deconstruction, reconstruction, and transformation occur between memories, images, and text. Throughout this process, things may change, grow, or diminish. “Klara and the Orange Cat” exists as an entanglement between text and everyday life.

Co-organised by alumni Kong Chun Nga, Kitty and Heung Kin Fung (Alex), the exhibition is inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro's book “Klara and the Sun.” Kitty has always imagined herself to be a robot, or "Artificial Friend" (AF) as described in the book, who operates without solar power in an office in Central. While writing the exhibition proposal during lunch, she began drawing self-portraits, the idyllic scenery outside the window, and birds napping on the grass

Out of boredom, she once initiated a discussion with her colleagues about whether the colour of sunlight falling on an orange cat's body would appear orange, white, or yellow. Despite finding her question absurd, the colleagues engaged in the conversation, as they were all reluctant to work. Their exchange was like a cat stretching, so unexpectedly pleasant that you couldn’t help but smile

The three artists in this joint exhibition – Waverly Wong, Toby Wong, and Maria Cheung – come from diverse backgrounds. It is hard to believe they studied together at the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT University School of Art, a fascinating twist of fate that can also serve as a source of inspiration. The ideas that sparked from their unexpected encounter developed into the central theme of this exhibition.

These three artists believe that once the “random thoughts mechanism” is activated, it is as if our senses, consciousness, and mind are freely wandering, giving rise to fragmented thoughts that are, in fact, “gifts to artists”. By closely observing these random thoughts, they can reflect on the present and transform them into deeply personal creations, a process of recognizing and integrating their authentic selves.

Unpacking is a group exhibition featuring artworks by Melbourne-based artists Judy Kong, Kelly So, Cheryl Liu and Wise Yeung. The multimedia exhibition showcases video installation, sculpture and ceramics. This introspective exhibition reflects on the migrating identity of Hong Kongers living in Australia. As the Hong Kong population in Hong Hong risen rapidly in recent years, the four artists utilise their unique position in history to portray an outsider perspective on the state of becoming.  

Traveling artists carry items of baggage on the road. Whenever they encounter something inspiring, they stop and unload. Artists always open their senses. They are always ready to be moved, especially in a foreign place. When they arrive at a fertile soil that allows creativities to grow, they may pause their journey and set up a site for art creation.  Waltzing Matilda, one of the most famous Australian Poems, mirrors the situations of the four artists in Unpacking.  Similarly, they are travelers with great expectations.

The exhibition “Digital Shape of Ceramics” features works from sixteen alumni and teaching staff of Hong Kong Art School, including five ceramicists and eleven students, who recently participated in the short course “Experimental 3D Clay Printing”. The main objective is to explore the possibilities of clay 3D printing, as a stand-alone method of making, or to act as an enhancement to other traditional ways of making. Creations include scanning real-life objects and constructing 3D models using AI technology. By utilizing 3D printing, ceramicists can create intricate designs with greater ease and precision, resulting in more complex meshes and curves that are otherwise challenging to replicate through alternative methods. “In time 3D printing will just become considered part of the ceramic tradition.” — Jonathan Keep. 3D printing technology has opened up new ways of making, allowing artists to bring complicated ideas to life.

“Through Boredom Into Fascination” takes inspiration from American photographer, Diane Arbus, who would never choose a subject for what it means to her or what she thinks about it. She believes these things begin to unfold if we just plain choose a subject and do it enough. This echoes Pak Sui Chi’s ceramic learning experience in which understanding of porcelain as a material, or “subject” in Arbus’s term, can only be achieved through repetitive work that seems boring. To her, it is also way to understand and perceive life itself.

The exhibition challenges the age-old assumptions related to the creation of art. It sparks a confrontation between the long-held belief that art is an intellectual activity, driven by conscious thought and deliberate action, and the contrasting perspective that art blossoms out of monotony, like a meditative practice, where the constant drum of repetition slowly peels back layers of understanding. It calls into question the very nature of art-making, opening up new dimensions of understanding and perception.

Ignis Fatuus – a flickering green light resembling a flame is a natural phenomenon caused by the spontaneous combustion of decaying organic matter, and is found mainly in marshes. Its Latin name directly means Foolish Light.

This has become our description of the city, which in its mercurial state, expends its inner energy, giving off fragments of ever-changing consciousness and illusions.

In fact that, most of us were regressing prematurely.

#IA%@324, with two family members afflicted by dementia, was encoded into another spatial fluid. It too experienced memory loss, gradually and unwittingly accepting its compromised position in Earthly life. A guardian of consciousness, the cerebral priest, sampled and reset the damaged portions as the first sequence.

Crawling backward leading one to contemplate whether this disorderly and seemingly purposeless decline is, in truth, a protective adaptation for the survival of a species – an intricacy waiting for the emergence of transformative variations.

Hong Kong Art School (a division of Hong Kong Arts Centre) and RMIT University are partnering to present the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduate Exhibition 2023 at the Pao Galleries (Hong Kong Arts Centre), from 8 to 24 July 2023, with an opening reception on 7 July (Friday). The exhibition brings together a collection of works from thirty-one graduates, debuting after three years of art exploration. Through diverse mediums including painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, installation and performance art, the artists present their unique perspectives of seeing and different ways of art making.

Titled “遊園終日 Umarell”, the exhibition sets the scene for the artists’ reflection on the objectivity of seeing and art making. The Italian slang “umarell” refers to retirees who spend days watching construction works, offering unwanted advice to the workers. Words do not impede changes to their community, but they persist in expressing themselves with great gusto. On the other hand, the Chinese title “遊園終日” traces back to the ancient literati who roamed around gardens, drinking, mingling, writing poems, expressing their sentiment and ambition despite being overlooked by majority. The context of the English and Chinese titles appears unrelated, but they synchronise and reflect similar situations of the keen observers, and how they respond to changes with genuineness and optimism. In art practice, the act of observing different facets of the social environment activates the collision of transformational ideas. Wandering and seeing engender contemplation and lead to meaningful art pursuits.

Our special gratitude goes to the following sponsors (listed in arbitrary order) for their generous support of the graduate exhibition: 1a space, Art6 Creation, Corporate Press (HK) Limited, Hearty Ceramic Supply Co, Hidden Space, Mooroom, Sinag Art Space, WMA, WURE AREA.

< Into the Beyond > showcases new works of Vianee Fernie, Ng Kai Fung, Kiesly Tsang, Mon Yau and RiK Yu all of whom graduated at different times from the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts), a programme co-presented by RMIT and Hong Kong Art School. Through their art making process, these artists break free from the familiar to transcend from the boundaries of what they know and delve into the deeper realities of existence beyond the mundane.

Vianee Fernie’s expressive abstract composition explores the intricacies of human experience, delving into the difficult decisions we face as we seek to transcend our limitations. Ng Kai Fung’s photography and sound works restore time and capture the fleeting nature of reality. Kiesly Tsang’s gelatin silver prints capture the intangible, revealing secrets of the unknown and offering a glimpse of the ineffable. Mon Yau’s installation starts with a thread knot, inspired by the tradition inherited from her mother. This process initiates a discourse in Nushu, a script created and used exclusively by women, that spans in time and geography. RiK Yu’s documentation of his performance captures the convergence between tradition and contemporary life. His works reflect on the transformation of vernacular traditions over time. Through exploration of objects and space, Yu reinterprets the enigmatic “Jingzhe” vernacular tradition and its practice in contemporary life.

Through their creative journeys, the artists transcend their own foundations, pushing the boundaries of their art practices. These journeys are presented as documentation which forms part of the exhibition. Just like the dancing shadows in Plato’s cave, filled with allusiveness of the uncertainties and revealing the transformative power of art.

Hon graduated from the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Programme (co-presented with RMIT) in 2020, majoring in painting. His art exhibition features a series of sketch paintings and installations. Through the use of fragmented and broken lines combined with highly structured frameworks, the artist oscillates between sensibility and rationality, eventually losing the latter. The exhibition contemplates the relationships among Hong Kong’s history, religion, and its people, observing how the objective environment subjectively and rapidly changes people’s lives. Hon frequently employs various symbols as creative methods in his artwork. This exhibition is divided into three thematic categories: religious subjects, everyday subjects, and office subjects. Each category reflects Hon’s observations of society and life, as he vividly depicts the contrasts found in everyday situations.

As suggested by the exhibition’s title, “Bye Bye Civilization,” the main theme is departure (disappearance), to the point where even crying can only be done in soft sobs.

“I think I have opened a door leading to the parallel universe of Victoria Peak on my way of searching.” ~Carol Lee, artist

Victoria Peak is a symbol of Hong Kong, a witness of the city’s history for over a hundred years. Starting from the colonial period, the hill has seen all the ups and downs of the place as we have experienced many changes in the city. However, it is the quiet soil under our feet that has always watched over us. The soil spends days and years here as we do, but it has never changed on the passing of time. For the soil, on one side is a world of physical senses and on the other is a world of intellectual thinking. They are like two parallel universes divided by just a thin line.

“This is the primary soil of Hong Kong. It is always here.” ~A construction site worker

The exhibition traces its origin to a conversation between Carol Lee and a construction site worker at Victoria Peak. Despite all the changes, there is untouched soil in our city. Interested in this fact, Lee wants to relate it to her art. She collected soil from construction sites at different sections of Victoria Peak and studied the colours and characteristics of the soil samples. She tried to find the relationship between soil and land by examining the primary soil using her artistic language. In this exhibition, soil and land have swapped places. The soil buried underground has been transformed into tangible artworks which can be seen, listened to and touched. The stories and history on the land are used as the background concept and presented in an abstract form.

“Going through the process and arriving at the works, I saw a gap in time.” ~Shirky Chan, curator

Lee’s works are often visually minimal and static. She tells her stories in a quiet and restrained way. There is an interesting version about how man is connected with the sky and the land: man stands at the intersection of a vertical line and a horizontal line. The vertical line is light from the sky whereas the horizontal line is the horizon that separates the sky from the land. Lee’s art has always included this “vertical line”. She exposed paper and objects to sunlight, leaving in her works the tracks of light, objects and time. In this new series, in addition to the “vertical line”, she puts her focus on the land. Using the daily life and culture on the “horizontal line” as background, Lee studied the minerals below the line. The vertical line representing sunlight touching the ground, the horizontal line sandwiched between the land surface and underground, and the artist’s own stories are the three elements which form a perfect cross. “Time” again has a crucial role to play in this series. It gives the works a historical perspective, and the timing of digging the soil is an important factor for the works. There is a gap in time between the beginning and conclusion of the series. The world changes rapidly, but things remain unchanged in the alternate one. Lee has turned the known and unknown of the uncertain relationship she discovered in Victoria Peak into her own story.

Opening reception: 9 December (Fri), 5 – 7pm

A translucent parasite latches onto us at some point in our lives. Some would try to seek it out, while others would sit and wait for it to drift into vision. Some would never be able to see it, while others have learned to ignore it. Nevertheless, these parasites are always there. They are the floaters.

Through a series of artwork including art installation, sculpture and graphic art, four alumni-artists of Hong Kong Art School illustrate the changes in our lives with “insects”, where our sight, flesh, or mind is parasitized, like floaters.

CHAN Wing Sze’s “parasites” take the form of headphones to insulate their host from the environment, protecting her, but also corroding her simultaneously.

LEUNG Man Lai’s “nest” is a collective of organisms, all journeying to nirvana.

LAU Cathleen Ching Yee’s body landscape contemplates living with anxiety not as an illness, but as a game of navigating between implosion and erosion.

CHUNG Siu Fung’s “mask” is a group of insects that obstruct the human respiratory system, shortening the lives of those who rely on them, yet strangely enough, no one has ever attempted to destroy them.

Inspired by the quote “The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts” by pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus, our BAFA graduating students Ken CHAN and Polly LO illustrate their views on colors through their experience in and thoughts on art- making in their joint exhibition “Color Come with Thoughts” . While Heraclitus viewed color as belonging to thoughts, and that people are shaped by what they have in mind, this exhibition contemplates the relationship between color, thought and human mind.

In the Middle Ages, artists painted to mirror reality. Colors were used to represent certain meanings and symbolisms under different cultures and social contexts. In the world of contemporary art, however, artists follow their cognition and consciousness in their use of colors, which in concept closely resembles the ideas of Heraclitus. When we follow our thoughts to put the respective colors on the canvas, not only is the work we produce reflective of our feelings, emotions, and perceptions of the world but its aesthetics and meaning are also heavily influenced.

Opening: 25 Jun (Sat) 5:00pm – 7:00pm

Featuring works on paper, drawing, objects and sound installation, this “Every Day” exhibition investigates everyday life through the intertwining relationship of boredom and time. 

Essentially, nothing happens in the state of boredom. Influenced by her workplace experience in retail business, Tracy explores how the weariness engulfs the everyday life. The fast-paced retail environment requires a consistent agility to pursue the ever-changing ambitions. The futility of pursuing is no less significant than the fate of Sisyphus.

As per Heidegger’s suggestion, profound boredom empowers an individual to radically face the inner self and search the meaning of being. In the course of time, boredom varies and is clouded between confronting and adapting to the futility. By exploiting the sum of several bodies of work, the artist attempts to realize herself by the way she lives or does not live at all, awake instead of shaking off the different intensity of emptiness to explore the existential question about the innate desire of reason.

Opening Reception:
14 May (Sat) 3:30pm – 5:00pm

When two artists meet, will their works be a simple sum of the two like the arithmetic formula of 1+1=2, or will they produce works of even more variations? 

When they share ideas, views and technical experience, do they look for similarities or differences?

“+1” has invited 28 Hong Kong Art School alumni to initiate 14 dialogues, which presents the audience with different possibilities through the connection between their works and dialogues.

Gallery address: 5/F, Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Wan Chai

This series consists of four showcases, which are curated by Subject Coordinators / Lecturers of Hong Kong Art School with specialization correspondingly in the following four major disciplines: Ceramics, Painting, Photography and Sculpture.

The Jockey Club Atrium may be a challenging space for showcasing artworks, however it is exactly this challenge that ignites the interest of the curators. Alumni and students of Hong Kong Art School are invited to make use of this space with their creative thoughts and touches, turning it into a showcasing area full of experimental and inspiring discoveries.

In the painting showcase ‘Latent and Patent’, there are layers of meaning and dialogue to be unveiled. Five alumni from the Hong Kong Art School employ various languages of drawing and painting, so as to recount the complicated nuances of everyday life.

Duo exhibition Virginia LO | FONG Tsz Leong Argus

Two painters are having dialogues through their landscape paintings.
A dialogue between two painters:

Virginia on Argus
His painting process encapsulates a micro world transformed into one with endless night skies and boundless mountains. And between it all, exists people with their own diversity. Perhaps this dream scape is something which he desires.

Argus on Virginia
Her landscape painting evokes the feeling of an old photo with it’s faded colour and over-exposed lighting, yet there is a curious shade of red. What could the red signify? Could it be the moment a sun sets and the night breeze sweeps in? Or even a red gas that replaces the very air we breathe in?

Inspired by the British sculptor Richard Wentworth, this exhibition uses sculptural collage to expand the interpretations of daily objects and the negative space around them. Through moulding, the cement, plaster and other raw materials with different urban wastes such as newspapers, expired eggs, and plastic lunch boxes are combined and transformed into new assemblages, subverting their original functions and extending their mobility for questioning the conventional object placement in urban landscape.

The juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated things, in spontaneous geometric forms, provides opportunities for us to recognise the neglected details in daily routine and rediscover the essence of things, or difference.

Once the painting is completed, death begins; “it” will sink endlessly and dissolve in the cold shards of ultramarine, which is infinite.

Some infer that the shards must contain an absolute sky. I prefer to dream that the surface represents a world reduced to a smooth vertical surface, like a slab of opaque glass. And when you look through the glass, you shall see birds singing as if they are hiccupping in a blue forest.

Now you might ask what is “it” to be exact, but to speak of it is to refuse.
So I say, “It’s a landscape painting.”

The architect is the origin, or their creations lead them to the primordial root?

The “Auto.mob” exhibition reflects the origin of civilization and the relationship between architect and autonomous. Generating interactive experience with symbolic visual images, composing a micro landscape with interactions from autonomous agents. Construct a digital phenomenon with reinforcement learning method, record a narrative within a period of runtime. The architect cultivates a result, analysis by their creation. Came to the conclusion that a structure without solid formula and a space performing variations.
