簡介
“The Magnificent Eight” features eight of the hottest, upcoming and rising Hong Kong-based contemporary artists, Chak (翟宗浩), Cornelia Erdmann, Craig Au Yeung (歐陽應霽), Ernest Chang (張子言), Jane Liu (廖少珍), Man Tin (田禮文), Wendy Tai (戴媛婷), and Yim Wai-Wai (嚴惠蕙).
From the grandiosity and mythical immortality of the natural world, to a more microcosmic scale of Hong Kong’s cityscape, each of the artists presents their own unique tales and challenges the viewers to embark on this roller-coaster-of-a-journey from start to finish without feeling bursts of euphoria, rage, confusion, peace, and consolation all at once.
Who are the artists?
Well-seasoned and shining in their prime, these key players constitute a local art group “WoP” that works against the current tide (in particular, the governmental and gallery systems that have, time and time again, shown greater leniency towards the younger, emerging artists).
The rule of the group is simple. No single slogan, ideal, style, theme, school, methodology, unity, originality, or skin color shall be traced to clump them together. In fact, there is almost no common ground among them.... all except that they are true believers of the visual arts. Through dedication, hard labor, and their infallible passion for the arts, each tirelessly aims to create objects that have attained their ultimate, climactic peak- both aesthetically and conceptually- to better the Hong Kong people’s secular life.
Seeing is believing! Please come visit, show your support, and discover more about their marvelous fruits of labor.
