Kiesly Tsang

Stay tuned for upcoming solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Kiesly Tsang, at the Central Gallery from August 6 to August 19, 2022.

Beautiful Individual Story is Tsang's one of the Art Collective works that reflect human emotion at the beginning of the global pandemic. The artist collected ten vulnerable words from the public, and she made ten non-functional sake cups in exchange for the participants based on each word individually given. Kiesly actualised her work of art into an individual portrait.

"I spun each of the concentrations of vulnerability by sloppy, scribbled sketches to flow throughout the emotion and waited for the attention towards lifting singular forms with clay, one by one, into a non-functional sake cup."

Tsang created ten beautiful sake cups full of humanity, originality, and uniqueness. The portrait of these sake cups overlaid the flow sketches as form follows emotion. The fired, imperfect sake cups as a gesture of transcendent and connectedness from ego to eco.

Yrellag Gallery 有幸呈獻香港藝術家曾昭琦的個人展覽《 Beautiful Individual Story 》。作品創作於全球大流行之初,以集體創作的形式來呈現在疫情下人們被壓抑的情感。

藝術家從公眾徵集了十個在他們心底裡最脆弱的詞語;就每個字詞,分別為參與者製作了十個不具功能的清酒杯。以詞易物,它們始於言說也回饋於言說者。酒杯在制成後回贈予參與者,而留下來的是一段段的過程,也是每個靈魂的描述與肖像。

「在無想無念下,字詞化作線條,畫筆在圖紙上躍動;線條交錯,構築了一幅幅獨特,當下的,以心傳心的草圖。坊輪化作圖紙;陶泥在輪上轉動;線條刻畫到泥止,提拔而成的,是一個個失去功能的清酒杯。」

曾氏創造了十個獨特的清酒杯,它們的獨特性是源自於對人性的轉化。這些清酒杯的「肖像」與舞動的線條文錯重疊;就如酒杯的形態是隨情感的變化而構成。燒製過後,這些不完美的清酒杯是一個關於從自我到大我的轉化比喻。
