Once Upon

About

Soluna Fine Art is proud to present 'Once Upon 喁喁細語' in celebration of Women's History Month of March, our first group exhibition of six emerging Hong Kong female artists born in the 1990s. This exhibition will showcase more than twenty new and existing artworks by artists: Joanne Chan, Lau Sze Man, Livy Leung Hoi Nga, Rosalyn Ng, Coco Ray Hui Man, and Wong Yuk Shan. Joanne Chan, Lau Sze Man, Livy Leung Hoi Nga, Rosalyn Ng, Coco Ray Hui Man, and Wong Yuk Shan. 'Once Upon 喁喁細語' will be on view from 17 March - 14 May 2022, with an online opening on 17 March (Thursday).

Artists born in the 1990s have acted as the intermediary between the generations before and after. Having grown up through the rapid growth in information technology and egalitarian knowledge-sharing, this generation of artists is keen and sensitive to the analog to digital age developments. Now, they have made their way into the contemporary art scene in a moment in time when it's not only just the gender issue that has become a global focal point but diverse topics that are particular to the present time in Hong Kong: pandemic, socio-political changes, digitalization and more.

 

The reality of the last few years of Hong Kong has left most of us with mismatched feelings that are familiar and unfamiliar. Despite the growing distance from the space called home, artists turn to their canvases to articulate (or whisper 喁喁細語) their personal space. While each artist has a distinct visual language and approach to mark-making, the works collectively demonstrate artists' innate solid urge to create or construct a world that amplifies expressions of resilience and hope for a positive future. 

 

Like the stock phrase, 'Once Upon,' that introduces imaginary or past events, the exhibition 'Once Upon' is a visual memoir showcasing abstract to figurative paintings of artists' relationship between the inner state and the outside world. In viewing the abstract visuals, the audience might realize that having uncertainty and ambiguity in the current heavily externalized world is not a bad thing if they could be empowered with the gift of free imagination.
