Calis Leung and Esther Wong: Phone Box of Echoes at Yrellag Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Opening on 21 October at Yrellag gallery Mid-levels, Phone Box of Echoes is a duo artist exhibition featuring two local artists, Calis Leung and Esther Wong. They shared the experience of inner awareness of societies. They created their own representation to respond to both internal concerns through ceramic and painting. 

With the chemical reactions between the fire of pottery making and the unknown materials in found objects, Calis expresses her sentiments of wars. Wars seem distant from us, but those were the bedtime stories for Calis throughout her childhood, as her father had once experienced wars.

Meanwhile, Esther adopts colored pencils and watercolor as mediums to depict the inner relationship between humans and society, which is sometimes intimate, while sometimes estranged. Confronting the ever-changing generation, Esther thinks that we lack some space and time to understand our own feelings, and her perception may echo your state.
