About the Artists 關於藝術家
Au Kin Wai Johnny 歐健韋 (HK)
Au Kin Wai Johnny graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2023. In the same year, he received numerous awards including HART Award, Tuna Prize, Honourable Mention for WMA Photography Award for Graduates (Lens-based Media), and Wure Area Award. His graduation work reveals the resistance, powerlessness, and perseverance derived from the mundane. Au is currently interested in fields like semiotics and punk music. Apart from forming an artist collective for collaborative and experimental projects in the future, Au also wishes to create a series of work with a narrative prose-like nature.
歐健韋於2023年獲得香港浸會大學視覺藝術學士學位。同年也獲頒多個獎項，包括HART大獎、吞拿魚獎、WMA大專生攝影獎榮譽提名（影像媒介）及Wure Area Award。其畢業作品揭示了源於日常的反抗、無力感和忍耐力等主題，而他近期亦對研究符號學和龐克音樂尤感興趣。除了打算與與朋友們成立藝術家團體以開展實驗性的合作項目外，他亦希望創作一系列如敘事散文般的作品。
Tjia Man Yan 謝旻蒑 (HK)
Tjia Man Yan, a recipient of the HART Award, graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, Curating and Artistic Strategies in 2023. Delving into the idea of coexistence between humans and laws of nature, Tjia’s graduation work imagines how intentional binary oppositions will eventually reach uniformity. Conceptual and experimental painting as well as mixed-media creation are the focuses of her creative practice. Through constructing and deconstructing daily life and materials, she wishes to explore the nature of existence and the vulnerability of humanity.
謝旻蒑於2023年獲得香港中文大學藝術、策展及藝術策略學士學位，並於同年榮獲HART大獎。其畢業作品探討人類與自然法則共存的想法，並想像有意的二元對立最終如何會達致統一。在其藝術實踐中，她著重於概念性和實驗性的繪畫和混合媒介，通過建構和解構生活和物料的過程中探索存在概念和人性的脆弱性。
Wai Mei Ting 韋美婷 (HK)
Wai Mei Ting, a recipient of the HART Award, graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2023. Basing her research on themes of “silence”, “solace”, and “home”, Wai’s graduation work reintroduces the comforting solace found at home during the pandemic. In her artistic practice, Wai often revisits senses evoked by the objects and reflects on her existing understanding of their meanings.
韋美婷於2023年畢業獲得香港浸會大學視覺藝術學士學位，並於同年榮獲HART大獎。其畢業作品圍繞「沉默」、「慰藉」和「家庭」等主題，深入探討疫情期間在家中獲得的慰藉。她的創作基礎以五感探索及剖析個體事物與情感間的連結，從而重新定義對它們既定的理解。

2022
Projection installation 投影裝置
7 mins 分鐘I see you in the bin.
Wow, funny!
The artwork B¡n \o-o/ c|e is an extension from the graduation work of Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University See/me&u/ l a ter<3, which has simulated a futuristic world based in Hong Kong, by merging street views through a fictional dating app. See/me&u/ l a ter<3 allows audience to experience the absurd changes in the society in perspective of human, the user of the dating app; while the work this time depicts the narrative in the perspective of one of the company “1DCompany” in the fictional world. The audience will act as a staff of “1DCompany”, peeking the daily changes of the view of Billy Street, and listening to the story unfolding in the form of a work report.

Unceasing Night 長夜未央
2022
Ink and colour on silk, album of 8 pages 水墨設色絹本八開冊頁
Each of 20 x 14 cm 每頁 20 x 14 厘米Chu’s recent work Unceasing Night (2022) is a 10-page concertina ink painting with artist’s handmade seals, in reference to a Chinese poem “Jian Jia” cited from “Shi Jing (the Book of Songs)”. The continuous pages initiate the viewers to read with a cinematic experience, to witness a trace of time and a sense of loss from the changing condition of the common reed as seen in the work.
(Translation of the poem The Reed:
Green, green the reed
Dew and frost gleam
Where’s she I need
Beyond the streamUpstream I go
the way is long
Downstream I go
She’s there amongWhite, white the reed
Dew not yet dried
Where’s she I need
On the other sideUpstream I go
Hard is the way
Downstream I go
She’s far awayBright, bright the reed
Dew and frost blend
Where’s she I need
At river’s endUpstream I go
The way does wind
Downstream I go
She’s far behindTranslation by Xu Yuanchong 許淵冲)
朱樂庭的作品萃取了中國傳統水墨畫、墨拓，以及研究中文詩詞、人文歷史、紀念和不朽的理想主義後創作的雕塑。她的近作《長夜未央》（2022）是一個十頁的冊頁，當中有藝術家的手製印章和與引用自《詩經》的《蒹葭》一詩。畫中透過蘆葦的變化，連綿的畫頁將如戲劇般引領觀眾見證無法回憶或觸及之物的時光軌跡。

I put them all in my comics
But it doesn’t matter now
It’s been a passing loveThis series starts with a comic I made back in second-half of 2021 : Coffee or Tear
Do you know where my 對白 come from : * > ?
Special thanks to Netflix.
At some point, I have harvested a large pile of screen-caps equalling conversations on my desktop.With so much feelings that I could not say, I outsourced to Netflix’s captions to make my own story.
Relationship - Communication - Nonsense
To continue the story, I make comic-like paintings with Bicorn & Intuitive Horze. I draw you until I get bored with you.
Do you maybe have an experience like that?
你知道我的秘密嗎？
它們全在我的漫畫中
但現在已不重要
已是一份過期的愛情這個系列源於我在2021年下半年創作的漫畫《Coffee or Tear》
你知道我的對白來自哪裡嗎 : * > ?
特別鳴謝Netflix。
曾經我收集了一大堆對話的截圖在我的桌面。有太多情感我難以表達，只好倚靠予Netflix的字幕創作我的故事。
關係–溝通–胡言亂語
為了延續故事，我用《Bicorn & Intuitive Horze》中漫畫般的畫作繪畫你，直到厭倦你。
或者你也有相關經驗？
Eunice Lai 黎曉蓉 (HK)
Fascinated by the power of imagination and freedom, the works of Eunice Lai (b. 1993, Hong Kong) often engaged in the creation and exploration of her own mystical world which one may not encounter in reality. Stories happen in the forms include but not limited to comics, story-telling, illustrations and maybe soon oil paintings and animation. Through exploring the possibilities in another world, she finds inspiration to respond to herself and to reality.
黎曉蓉 1993 年生於香港，嚮往想像和自由的力量，因此作品經常關於創作和探索自己那現實中難以遇到的神秘世界。她的故事以漫畫、故事、插畫，或於不久的將來以油畫和動畫呈現。透過探索另一個世界的可能性，她找到了回應自己和現實世界的靈感。

The Intouchable
2021
Selfie sticks, tripods, adjustable articulating magic arms, inkjet print on acrylic 自拍棍、腳架、可調式接臂、噴墨打印（塑膠彩）
Size variable 尺寸不定Selfie sticks and accessories build up an organic structure that seemingly interconncts but rather isolates, whereas images of hand gesture extracted from profile pictures on gay dating apps, indicate what J.D.Salinger says as “a touch and yet not a touch”.
由自拍棍和配件組成的有機結構，看似互相勾連但實際孤立隔絕，當中手勢的影像從同性戀交友軟件中的照片截取，正如沙林傑所說「想觸碰又收回的手」。
