Through meticulous printmaking and etching on copper plates, she is dedicated to delivering the beauty of lines.
The "Lonely Stardust" exhibition will feature a series of Emily's new series of prints, there are prints that will come with NFT as a set.
Artist’s Statement
Ever since I was little, I have discovered that I see the world differently. The air is filled with tiny dust particles, floating around, and guiding me through the contours of an object. I trace the lines over and over again within my mind.
Through engraving in a repetitive manner, copperplate etching is a process that I find somewhat self-abusive. Nevertheless, I enjoy bringing the lines from my mind to reality with my own hands. And to feel the texture of the lines by gently touching the plate.
The perfect pitch black on the copper plates have always brought me a bit of romance, mixed with sorrow, into the void of my lonely heart.
Every time when the prints go through the printing press, I watch the ink appear on the paper. In that instance, I imagine myself turning into stardust, silent and patient. Following the creation of the work, I drift down and land in front of the audience.
“Lonely Stardust” exhibition runs from 3 Dec 2022 to 4 Feb 2023 at Art Projects Gallery.
藝途畫廊榮幸呈獻藝術家洪詩雅個人展覽《憂鬱的星塵》。
洪詩雅 (生於深圳，1996年)，2019年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系文學學士學位。她自幼着迷於精緻的細節，對她而言，線條中藏有獨特而迷人的美學。即使她對於細節一絲不苟，卻不會盲目跟從既定規條。透過銅板上《憂鬱的星塵》版畫工藝與蝕刻，她寄望將線條的隱藏之美散發出來。
《憂鬱的星塵》展覽將展示洪詩雅的新系列版畫作品，部分作品也將附含NFT為一組。
藝術家自述
我從小就發現，我看待世界的方式和別人不一樣。仿佛空氣中存在著微小的塵埃，引導我去只看到一件事物的外輪廓，我就會在腦海中反覆勾勒這些線條一千次一萬次。
而我選擇用銅版畫去「自虐式」反覆刻畫線條，則是享受將腦海裡每一道線條，用手勾勒出來，慢慢撫摸版面的凹感。
銅版畫中極致的黑，也為我內心中的極致孤獨感帶來一絲浪漫和憂鬱。
每一次上墨壓印，看著油墨出現在紙面上，在那個瞬間，憂鬱的我變成了星塵，隨著創作，安靜而有耐心的我，漂浮落在眾人面前。
展覽《憂鬱的星塵》將於2022年12月3日至2023年2月4日在藝途畫廊展出，歡迎公眾前來觀賞。
