An art exhibition on pause explores the relationship between humans and time. Artists use various techniques to illustrate the concept of stillness in life, from still-life paintings to capturing moments, from static to dynamic, from concrete to abstract, and from ceramics to painting. They freeze time and state, allowing viewers to appreciate, reflect on and experience the aesthetic of pause from different perspectives, reflecting on the numerous pauses in the world.

Niki Tse is interested in creating spaces that meditate on memory and the transient nature of time. She is currently building on an archive of various photographs, drawings, and prints exploring themes of sentimentality, nostalgia, and the ephemeral. Playing with the relationship between chance and intention, she embraces the notion of serendipity and happy accidents. She believes that abstraction resists immediate categorization; hoping that her abstracted images will encourage a pause within the viewer, urging them to slow down and look. She has studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, and is currently completing a fine art degree at Newcastle University.

LEE Wing Chi, Dallas is fascinated with the power of painting and drawing. She thinks it can interact with people and meanwhile within every part of the work. Her works lie between representation and abstraction. She intends to construct a world connecting reality and imagination at the same time to fulfill dreams. She paints like drawing and draws like painting unconsciously. She seldom defines whether her work is a painting or drawing as she believes the blur brings the work to life.

Ying Sheung Wong, a Hong Kong-based ceramic artist, graduated from the Visual Arts Department of Hong Kong Baptist University. After graduating in 2012, she worked as a visual arts teacher and studied for a Master degree in Ceramic Art and Design at Bath Spa University in the UK. Her works have been exhibited in Bath and Frome, England. By choosing clay as a medium, Wong believes that a ceramic artist and clay are in a close, cooperative relationship. They pull and push each other to form a bond that converts the intangibles into tangibles, like the balance between “yin yang”. In the process of ceramic making, she means to show the hidden nature of humankind and its unity, in order to embody the Taoist "way of nature."
