INTRODUCTION

Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition ‘tri-angles’ curated by Eric Leung, featuring works by Chivas Leung, Cassandra Lau Po Yan and Chonticha Kaiaroonsuth.

In geometry, a three-faced polyhedron cannot exist in a three-dimensional space unless it is a curved surface, hence, a three-faced polyhedron should not exist. However, human perspectives and opinions are erratic and may be distorted. Considering issues from three different angles can create a three-dimensional thinking space. The exhibition hopes to examine the world through the visions of three young female artists and illustrate their unique perspectives on life.

Chivas Leung sees painting as a ritual to complete a memory, as the irreversible nature of life prompts her to vividly recall the past. Inspired by Richard Sanderson’s song Reality, which accompanied her childhood. This series of works interprets Leung’s understanding of the song. An encounter between two people may just be a figment of the imagination, and the meaning of intimate relationship between people is explored.

Cassandra Lau Po Yan believes every city has its unique culture, which manifests through peoples’ lives and identities. A place of residence presents the cityscape and connects people with their space. It is our interpretation and the concept of home. Our fast-paced city is rebuilding urban neighbourhoods in our communities, reflecting trends in globalisation and gentrification. Old-style residences such as ‘tong laus’ (Chinese tenements) have been gradually demolished and replaced by new concrete high-rise buildings, which isolate people and emphasise loneliness in the city. Locals living in ‘tong laus’ have been a unique and memorable aspect of Hong Kong life since the 19th century, creating collective memories. Recording their forms preserves the beautiful city landscape in its concrete jungle.

Chonticha Kaiaroonsuth‘s works in this exhibition were inspired by a long night. She tries to encapsulate some of her feelings during night-time. The works contains her experiences on several different nights. Many unfinished stories happen after nightfall, and through her works, she explores issues of which she is unaware, to find meaning in the unknown.

引言

凱倫偉伯畫廊榮幸地宣布由梁兆基策展的聯展「三面睇」，將展出梁慧欣、劉寶 欣和吳氵靜涓的作品。

在幾何學中，三面平面的三面體在三維空間不能存在，除非是曲面的，因此三面 體可說在現實中並不成立。但人的觀點與看法是可變化扭曲，三個角度看事物足 以構成立體的思維空間。展覽「三面睇」希望透過三位女年輕藝術家的視野審視 世界，以她們獨特的角度為生活留下注腳。

梁慧欣新作品系列《Real Fantasy》靈感來自從小一直收聽的Richard Sanderson

歌曲 Reality ，講述兩個相似的人在派對上相遇，並一起逃離派對遠走高飛的故 事，並留給歌曲去詮釋如幻似真的未來。藝術家的創作往往從真實經驗中撮取不 完整的部份，將空間和事物重組，藉著虛構、不可能實現的場景去填補記憶中的 缺憾。

劉寶欣的繪畫源於現實社會，把各式舊樓、唐樓及公共屋邨的陽台窗戶重組拼合 成既虛擬又寫實的集體回憶。欠缺人物的畫面透過各家各戶日常的物品及掠掛的 衣被，反映平民百姓的生活軌跡，讓觀眾想像消失中的城市面貌。

吳氵靜涓的新油畫系列則環繞長夜的場景，把基隆街居所附近街頭所見所思納入 畫中，以躍動的筆觸抒發當下未明的抽象思緒，並透過偶遇路邊小花、小草及小 鳥的恩悅慰藉靜夜的孤寂。

三位藝術家以各具特色的藝術風格創造虛擬中的現實，透過各自精彩的作品互相 對話，並希望創意能從不同視角伸延交織，再匯集成一個髑動心靈的展覽。

CURATOR’S NOTES

Eric Leung Shiu Kee

In geometry, a trihedron shape with three planes is an impossibility, unless its surfaces became spherical to create a hosohedron. A triangle in the form of a trihedron cannot exist in reality; it is an entirely hypothetical existence. As peoples’ points of view and perspectives are more flexible than geometry, viewing things from three different angles might formulate a more three-dimensional space, shaping an imagined reality. ‘tri-angles’ visits the world through the eyes of three young female artists, navigating between the imagined and reality, as they comment on life from their unique perspectives.

Chivas Leung’s new series ‘Real Fantasy’ found inspiration in Richard Sanderson’s song Reality. The song tells a story of how two similar people meet at a party, then leave the party and run away, leaving the listener to fathom their dreamlike future through the song. Leung creates her works by choosing incomplete episodes from reality and reassembling space and objects. Imagined, impossible scenes are then used to complete lost memories.

Cassandra Lau Po Yan’s paintings are inspired by reality. By reassembling images of balconies and windows of different old buildings, ‘tong laus’ (Chinese tenements) and public housing estates, Lau conjures up shared memories that are simultaneously imagined and real. The canvas, devoid of figures, represents the everyday lives of the people through their objects and laundry, allowing the audience to imagine these disappearing scenes.

Chonticha Kaiaroonsuth’s new oil painting series focuses on scenes from a long night. Painting what she saw, and her thoughts around her home on Ki Lung Street, her budding, abstract thoughts are expressed in dynamic brushstrokes. The joy of discovering flowers, grasses and birds soothes the solitude of a long, quiet night.

The three artists render imagined realities in their distinctive styles and engage in dialogues through their spectacular works. Their enhanced and intertwined creativities from different perspectives fuse into a poignant exhibition.
