Afterglow by Sunstorm Studios x RidiculouSneakers
Afterglow brings together three of the most talented mixed media artists working in Hong Kong today, KC Wong (RidiculouSneakers), Valeria Alexandra & Patrick Framel (collectively Sunstorm Studios).
For this collaboration, the artists have fused recycled materials with LED lights to breathe new life into discarded objects. The team sought to create a showcase which looks and feels dramatically different in the daytime and after dark. Viewers will be treated to two different displays; each playfully inviting the viewer to stop and consider the mass production of consumer waste.
About the Artists
RidiculouSneakers by KC Wong
A multi-discipline artist, KC Wong has been involved in illustration & animation production, visual merchandising and art creation. KC has worked on commercial visual communication projects with companies in both Hong Kong and China. KC is the founder of “Sick Sick Creation" - a creative agency focusing at story-telling, as well as brand building.
Sunstorm Studios
Sunstorm Studios is a collaboration between two artists with divergent backgrounds; both influenced by living and working amongst Hong Kong’s dynamic cultural mesh. Valeria Alexandra and Patrick Framel create mixed media kinetic artworks with elements of metal, paper and electricity, both for commercial installations and fine arts collectors. A fusion of old and new, a clash of textures and purpose, the works playfully call attention to the mass production of consumer waste. With these recycled materials, the series breathes new life into discarded objects, telling the stories of a city through a lens of dystopian surrealism.
About HAPPEN with HART
HAPPEN with HART is a project initiated by HART to present creativity and artistic talents in Hong Kong. The idea is to demonstrate a great diversity and variety of art in the city, especially found in HART communities.
Every talented presenter invited to engage in this project shares the same values and beliefs - in creativity, in collaborations and in the strength of communities. In the quest of art making, and the journey of discovery of their becoming, HART the initiative evolves with the creative souls.
We believe that each and every individual possesses knowledge and experience in aesthetics, and a glimpse of art can connect people. Each presentation of selected collaborative projects lasts for 3 weeks to a month, the creators realise their own concepts, subject matters and ideas by formulating and producing what you see at the window space of HQ Hall.
Through the diversity in mediums, contrasts of tradition and innovation, each showcase captures the creative talent that makes up our vibrant city, and is made meaningful by its encounter with you.
