EVENT DESCRIPTION
In this vibrant city, culture and art flow like a gentle stream, enriching our lives. After a year of meticulous preparation, we are thrilled to present William’s second solo exhibition at Touch Gallery, titled “Fish Wishes.” This exhibition not only continues his artistic journey but also pays heartfelt homage to the rich culture of Hong Kong.
William’s fascination with fish stems from their unique symbolism and vitality. As early as the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2011, he designed a colorful lantern installation “Lantern Wonderland” in Victoria Park. This piece celebrated the vibrancy of fish and expressed his admiration for life itself. While fish are often depicted as culinary delights in Western art, in Chinese culture, they embody a deeper spirituality, symbolizing prosperity and hope.
In this exhibition, William debuts his clay sculpture works, marking a new exploration in his artistic expression. The flexibility and malleability of clay allow him to vividly capture the essence of life in his creations. Each piece reflects his profound contemplation on existence and serves as a blessing for all.
Let us experience together the beauty that springs from culture and explore the limitless possibilities that art brings to our lives.
