Visit 1------ FOTANIAN OPEN STUDIOS 2013

Hi~ Everyone~
It was my first time to go to an exhibition without any accompany.
However,
I think I could have more chances to explore something special by myself.
And,
start to think more.

On 20th January, 2013,
I went to FOTANIAN OPEN STUDIOS 2013. 
The exhibition was quite large which covered the FoTan industrial estate.
But this time, I only went to the main building- Wah Luen Industrial Centre to discover some of the interesting or touching masterpiece.



This picture got my attention a lot.
Though I did not know the title of the picture, I would like to make a title for it
"Crying baby"
The artist use the texture of Chinese ink painting to create a sad and  helpless facial expression.
It shows that when we were babies. 
We could not do all the job, simply like, when you are hungry, you cannot get milk by yourself.     

This picture touched my heart so much.
Because when I saw my grandmother passed away in the hospital, she definitley looked like the person in   the picture. So skinny and look pale. It made me remember  that moment. 




Ha Ha Ha 
I like this mail box so much. This is the most interesting one that this art can have some interactive with the audiences.
People can take the paper from the box. On the paper, there are many love stories with number of it. Maybe up to 15. I don't know.
I try to take as many as I can.
But when I had already taken three of them, I felt so shine to take another one.
Because other people were looking at me.
Why was this girl so greedy?
They may think like that.
However, when I looked at the counter. I saw the one who create the box kept folding paper and filled.
They were so busy.
 I like this picture very much. It was named "Good News".
I understand it because. When your wings were broken, it would be good to have a bird to pretend as your wings.
That why people love to hear "Good News".



 When I was about to leave the industrial building, I saw this funny but simple painting on the wall. It gave me a feeling like creative is very important. No matter where you are or who you are, you can use anything to make your own master piece.

That why, I appreciate all Hong Kong Artist. Though art cannot make a lot of money in a financial centre, they still driving the rode to their destination. From this picture, you can see. The artist is helping the visitors to design the names. Keep the head down, keep the hand moving and keep our mind be creative are very important to the contemporary art.

From now on, I think I like the way that go alone to visit the art exhibition by myself.
I like this kind of living style.

  1. Nice that the exhibition inspired you to visit more in the future. For this course's purpose, you should try to identify the title of the art work, the name of the artist, and the name of the gallery. Make sure to pay attention to these in your next review.

  2. I really enjoy the piece of the crying child. There is so much detail in his noise, mouth, and eyes that it really portrays human emotion. I think most people would agree that babies quickly learn the power of the cry. It is necessary for their survival to some degree. There is of course two cries: the whining, in genuine cry, and the hear-wrenching genuine cry. To me, this work is showing the genuine cry. Every little wrinkly and curve of the face suggests his tired sad self.

    Referring to the mailbox piece: who wrote the love stories? And what do the numbers represent? I've read about a love letter writing campaign in New York City. A girl writes love letters and puts them all over the city: in library books, on the subway, etc. Strangers will find them and their days are brightened. The mailbox reminds me of this campaign. Sending love to strangers, which the world is always in need of.
