About the event
Lucie Chang Fine Arts is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition The Other Side in June, featuring the works of eight young talented female artists born in or after 1980s: Alice Lin, Angel Hui, Bao Ho, Gedvile Bunikyte, Morgan Xinmo Wu, XZOO studio- M&X (Margie and Xinru) and Yu Xiao. Each artist brings her unique perspective on nature of life to the table through their creation by exploring various forms of media and materials.
Although the media, expressions and field of the artists are contrasting, observations and thoughts about daily lives and nature are their common muse. Alice Lin's paintings, blending wildlife, plants and human forms, employs surrealism to project the peaceful yet vacant reality in her eyes; Angel Hui combines daily necessities with traditional Chinese craft, as seen in her series【Embroidery on the plastic bag – Hong Kong Goldfish Street 2】, exhibited at Art Basel 2022; Bao, known for her freestyle work with mural, street art and illustrations, create fantastical scenes featuring human and animal characters that simultaneously reflect the daily life in our city; Gedvile Bunikyte uses colors, lines, and shapes as tools to capture her journey of personal transformation, inviting viewers to participate in a meditative experience; Morgan Wu explores social issues and the hidden symbols in nature through various media, materials and technology; XZOO studio (M&X) creates art furniture and sculptures that embodies a unique hybridity inspired by their deep understanding of culture and aesthetics from Eastern and Western life; Finally, Yu Xiao expands the boundaries of abstract painting and opens up viewing experiences by revealing the reality of life through her creative concept and emotional expression of “Underbelly”.
Despite their diverse styles and approaches, these artists share a common thread in their ability to capture the essence of their surroundings through their artistic creations. Each work symbolises the result of a breakthrough of self-consciousness, concepts and ideas are folded and expended repeatedly. Therefore, The Other Side is demonstrating the process of heterotopia to the public through different dimensions of life. Hoping the audience can jump out of the box, think in the other side, explore different possibilities in art expressions and life experience.
