Art Projects Gallery is proud to present Hong Kong artist Glary Wu Hoi Yan’s Solo Exhibition “The Sun”.
Glary Wu (b.1996, Hong Kong) is a contemporary Hong Kong artist. She graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University with a Bachelor of Visual Art degree in 2019.
Wu transforms the familiarity of daily life into an expressive painting language that through her works, connects her and the society. The artist finds inspiration from easily overlooked details from daily life, as well as from writers, sociologists, and even the strangers that she photographs. Creative sparks from her multidisciplinary approach inspires Wu to express both the tangible and intangible aspects of emotions through her works in a poetic way.
In Wu’s paintings, reality imitates theatre, including sceneries and different people; the dialogue between elements and characters in the same space is key, adding a dash of imagination in pieces, to accentuate the human mind through static surroundings and changing sceneries.
Artist’s Statement
My life intertwined with the Sun the day my parents gifted me my name - the Chinese character “昕” in my name means dawn - , along with the embrace of warmth, hope, and dreams.
The Sun coats us in different warmths depending on the season, humidity, hour of day and place. You may not see her; but you will feel her. From sunrise to sunset; in the city or out in nature; the same scenery basking in different glows, is perhaps the theater that the Sun performs every day and her source of entertainment. How can one give off any warmth without truly enjoying the embrace of the Sun?
I would like to invite the audience to experience this exhibition with their favourite colour-tinted glasses, as I share my Sun-inspired epiphanies about time and space through a collection through sunrise and sunset.
“The Sun” exhibition runs from 20 Aug 2022 to 8 Oct 2022 at Art Projects Gallery.
藝途畫廊榮幸呈獻香港年輕藝術家胡愷昕個人展覽《The Sun》。
胡愷昕（生於1996年，香港）是名香港當代新銳藝術家。2019年畢業于香港浸會大學，獲視覺藝術學士學位。
胡愷昕將日常的熟悉生活感，透過她生動的繪畫作品，籍此來連結自身與社會。她以日常生活中容易被忽視的細節以及小說家、社會學家、甚至是陌生人和鏡頭下的人物作為靈感，跨領不同領域之間的創作火花，激發了胡氏將各種有形與無形的情感, 很有詩意的透過作品表現出來。
在胡愷昕的繪畫作品中，現實有如模仿戲劇，包括風景和不同的人物；而關鍵在於同一個空間中的元素和人物之間的對話，在片斷中融入一些想像，通過靜態的環境和變化的風景來突出人的心靈。
藝術家自述
自父母為我取名那天開始，我的生活就注定圍繞著太陽，伴隨著當中的溫暖、希望與夢想。
隨著自然的季節、時間、甚至濕度的變化，陽光總以各式各樣的溫暖籠罩著每一個人。也許你無法看清她，但必然能感受她的溫和。從日出至日落；從城市走到屬於她的郊野：同樣的景色散發著截然不同的光芒。或許這就是她每天盡情展現的舞台？或是她一切享樂的泉源？假若不去盡情享受陽光的擁抱，我們自身還怎能散發溫暖？
寄望觀眾戴上自己喜歡的顏色眼鏡、透過我的視覺體驗這次展覽，在日出與日落之間，能同享陽光為我帶來的時空感悟。
展覽《The Sun》將於2022年8月20日至10月8日在藝途畫廊展出，歡迎公眾前來觀賞。
