ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER
SHUM Hok Kiu (b.2001)’s artistic practices are mainly paintings. Shum sees art-making as a form of life documentation and emotional expression while she focuses on exploring the uncertainty and effects of the environment on individuals. Aligning with the theory of “Alienation”, Shum’s works are greatly inspired by the daily yet unfamiliar scenarios she encounters. She simplifies the scenes or objects from daily life into shapes and transforms them into abstract forms. Photos she took are the foundation of her paintings, transforming real scenarios into a quiet and peaceful space from reality.You may also like
