Charlotte Mui: Have a Rice Day at Alisan Fine Arts (Aberdeen)


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Come celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival on 10 September with the artist and enjoy mooncakes and homemade fruit tea while she talks about her latest series of works.

Alisan Fine Arts is excited to announce the first solo exhibition for emerging Hong Kong artist Charlotte Mui at Alisan Aberdeen. For her inaugural exhibition, Mui will be showing a new series of paintings that were inspired by her mother and grandmother’s home-cooked dishes. The artist makes use of vibrant colours and personified food subjects on a circular paper canvas to depict her family delicacies such as steamed milk and coconut pudding , vegetable pot, and turnip cake. The title “Have a Rice Day” is taken from the local Chinese saying “Three dishes one soup and rice for free” (三餸一湯白飯任裝), resonating with the whimsical style of Mui’s work. This exhibition is part of Hong Kong Art Gallery Association’s Summer Programme which aims to promote young Hong Kong talent.

Mui’s unique visual representation demonstrates her identity as a Millennial artist, who combines pop culture, cartoon, and down-to-earth themes in the making of her Surrealist artworks.
