Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present “Winter Wander”, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Fung Wing Yan, featuring her latest contemporary ink paintings and ceramics works.
Once upon a time, there was a fat cat named Cat, and a girl called Jo. Jo loved winter because she believed that winter was
about Christmas, meaning cheerful gatherings and joy. So she decided to visit winter town when she was 12, which is the permissible age to enter the different towns. There were also spring town, summer town, autumn town, bus town, sea town etc.
On the day of her arrival, winter town was snowing.
Cat was the guardian of winter town. Snow was his food.
At the entrance, Jo asked Cat if she could share some snow with her because she was so hungry.
Cat said:
"No, these are my food. Nobody knows when will it will stop snowing. I need it to survive."
"But" Cat continued:
"this place is boring, if you can find me something interesting, we probably can do an exchange!"
Jo smiled and said:
'Deal!'
And she run through the door happily.
The story begins.
In 2022, Fung experienced her first snowy winter. When everything being white and frozen, nature thought struggling, never stops living. Based on this, Fung creates a series of paintings with an interaction between joy, stillness and liveliness.
The visitors takes on the role as Jo to enjoy the tour in winter Town, in her perspective. At the same time, Cat hungers for the excitement comes along with Jo.
