WONG SIN
汪倩,香港生活。她的創作涉及繪畫、詩、行為及混合媒介。
她的作品以抽象/有機形態試圖貼近人類意識的起源和奧秘,希望穿越眼睛所看到的表象,抵達真實。她朝向神秘主義和原始主義的探索並與當今世代連結,從中反思人受身軀及各種限制下的衝突與突破。她以文學與哲學作為養分去思考世界跟人的關係。
於二零二一年開始接觸行為藝術,當中偶爾會加入詩/文本的行為,把詩歌/文本等等具像化,在現場呈現出來。
她於二零二一年自資出版詩集《回音谷》,收錄起初寫詩的五年間其中五十五首詩。文字作品曾發表於《聲韻詩刊》、《字花》、《濕熱-香港藝文態度》。
二零二三年與馬域創立「黑犬齒」藝術團體,以過程、探索、實驗為主導的創作模式,認真對待任何的可能性,從中發掘更長久持續累積的創作。
Wong Sin is an artist based in Hong Kong specializing in painting, poetry, performance, and mixed media. Her creative pursuits seek to delve into the depths of human consciousness through abstract and organic forms, transcending mere appearances to uncover truth. She explores mysticism and primitivism, connecting with the contemporary generation to reflect on the conflicts and breakthroughs arising from the limitations of the human body. Drawing nourishment from literature and philosophy, she contemplates the intricate relationship between the world and its inhabitants.
In 2021, Wong Sin ventured into performance art, occasionally incorporating poetic and textual elements to bring her poetry and writings to life in physical settings. That same year, she self-published a collection of poetry titled "Echo Valley", comprising 55 poems written over her initial five years of poetic exploration. Her written works have also been featured in publications such as "Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine," "Fleurs des Lettres," and "Hong Kong Art Writing Attitude."
In 2023, Wong Sin co-founded the "Black Canine Tooth" art group alongside Ma Wik. Embracing a creative approach centered around process, exploration, and experimentation, the group wholeheartedly embraces all possibilities in their pursuit of enduring and accumulative artistic creations.
