Growing up close to my godfather , a graphic designer , I often wandered through his art galleries , captivated by the hidden layers within his work . Each piece felt like a puzzle , inviting me to uncover its meanings . It was here I realised my fascination with art that transcends the obvious – inviting individual interpretation and sparking personal dialogue . This discovery has inspired my journey as an artist .
My exhibition explores the theme Disrupting Reality to Convey Meaning , stripping away fragments of the familiar to reveal new narratives and perspectives . Across canvases , I experimented with texture and dynamism , infusing static forms with movement . In sculptures , I contrasted smooth surfaces with raw representations of human anatomy . My paintings employ stark tonal contrasts and dramatic lighting to create illusions of motion , blurring stillness and fluidity .
Intrigued by perception and reality , I ventured into anamorphic art , manipulating perspective to challenge spatial awareness . These pieces engage viewers indirectly , encouraging shifts in viewpoint to uncover hidden dimensions . Inspired by Johnson Tsang ’ s contorted sculptures of human anatomy , I explored physical distortion to question identity . This influence appears in my hanging plastic installations , where form manipulation symbolises self-perception ’ s fluidity .
Art has always been my language . Since childhood , a pencil and paper have translated my thoughts into visual narratives . This passion sharpened my grasp of space and perspective , evident in the sketches displayed , and fuelled my enthusiasm for architecture , the field I will study next .
