Fung Wing Yan: Winter Wander

Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present “Winter Wander”, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Fung Wing Yan, featuring her latest contemporary ink paintings and ceramics works.

Fung Wing Yan is a Hong Kong artist, specialising in contemporary Chinese ink painting and ceramics. She graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts (Honors), majoring in Visual Arts.

Fung's works are inspired by the everyday life, nature and the cycles of life itself.

Fung’s ceramic works are based on her observations on the relationship between the object and the user, often exuding delight and poetics in subtle ways. For Fung, the activity of eating is not just for sustenance, but also for nourishment of the inner self. Therefore, the utensils designed by Fung, in addition to being practical, aims to bring warmth and joy to the users.

Painting, to Fung, is an important avenue for to self-reflection. Fascinated by children’s innocence and freedom, Fung liked to depict chubby children in her earlier works. But ever since one of her close family member passed away in 2014, she decided to use ink painting to express the Universe. The Universe is boundless, the space is endless. There is no sky and no Earth. In the Universe she depicted, there are children carrying out various activities. The depiction of the subjects in the picture space is deliberately kept small in terms of scale. The image is simple, yet the feeling is intense. Fung began to think about how to live her life and learned to be part of nature.
