The Poetry of Everyday Life
WHAT
As one of the most renowned Spanish artists of the 20th century, Joan Miró (1893-1983)’s love for all kinds of everyday objects and their intrinsic poetic qualities is apparent throughout his long and fruitful career. Linking art to life was one of his greatest aspirations, which was realised by his unique ability to perceive the poetic qualities possessed by the most humble of objects. These very objects form the central motif of the 94 works of art presented here, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and textiles. Outside of these works, the foundation of Joan Miró invited two local artists – GayBird and LeeLee Chan – to create installations inspired by Miró’s art; and Zoie Lam to illustrate an education booklet and a special display with AR effects.
