Dear me
WHAT
The duo exhibition by Hong Kong artists Fatina Kong and Kwong Man Chun centres around the theme of memory. Articulated with the artists’ unique aesthetics through overlaying colours and mediums, both Kong and Kwong visually represent the hazy and distant scenes within one’s mind –– which could be a memory, or a fragment of consciousness.
WHY
Fatina Kong skilfully fuses contrasting elements of Chinese, western, ancient and contemporary techniques. Her works create tranquil yet mysterious scenes of Hong Kong – familiar sights such as the IFC building and Shing Mun River are nuanced into her creations. On the other hand, Kwong Man Chun works depict a plethora of objects that recall his past: household items, 1980s furniture, Chinese courtyards. The nostalgic imageries conjured by both Kong and Kwong immerse viewers in memories that await excavation.
