Crush on My City

Karin Weber Gallery’s Spring exhibition, Crush On My City, brings Hong Kong, and Hong Kong art, into focus and is testament to Hong Kong people’s love for their city.
The ten local artists in this exhibition stay true to the city pulse of Hong Kong through their art works, showing their individual ‘love affair’ with their city. The exhibitions illustrates the multi-dimensional nature of local creativity as it includes oil painting, Chinese ink painting, photography, sculpture and installation art.

Wong Chak Hung‘s oil paintings, which resemble mosaic tiles in the MTR, may look simplistic at first sight. The actual process of working on each piece, placing the tiny tiles, is painstakingly accurate and reflects the artist’s collective memory.
Lau Chi Chung ventured all over the Hong Kong countryside to create a photographic record of abandoned buildings covered by wild plants. His Landscaped Artifacts series reflect upon the impact of urban development on nature.
Sim Chan and Stanley Siu‘s three-dimensional oil painting Watermelon Football, (a popular grass roots street sport from the olden days) is an excellent example of nostalgia for local toys and widgets.
Annie Wan‘s ceramic sculptures transform old Wanchai outdoor advertising signs into Tang poems.
Jaffa Lam‘s use of unwanted parachute material to create a cloud-like installation is reminiscent of her signature works made for the Jockey Club Innovation Tower at HK Polytechnic University.
