Kacey Ko (Ko Ka Lee), is an acclaimed Hong Kong artist, who first gained recognition at Salon Des Beaux Arts 2022 in Paris as one of the few finalist representing China. Ko’s work is about creating a medium for introspection and to reconnect with our inner state of calmness and wholeness. Influenced by her unique experiences with Chinese philosophies of change (Yijing) and her fascination with textures and colours of western oil paint, Ko reinterprets the conception of east-meets-west through her practice.
Ko has exhibited in the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Rome, Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris, and Palazzo Bembo in Venice as part of a parallel exhibition at the 2024 Venice Biennale, among many other institutions. Her works have been featured internationally at major art shows in Paris, New York and Miami, including Art Shopping 2023 at Carrousel du Louvre, Art Capital 2023 in Paris, Artexpo New York 2023 in Manhattan and Spectrum Miami 2023 in Florida. In recognition of Ko’s artistic achievements, she was awarded with a gold prize at Art Show Paris 2023 and silver medal by Innoart Prize. Back in Asia, Ko participated in multiple exhibitions in Seoul, Singapore and Hong Kong. She held a solo exhibition at JCCAC titled Oasis in 2021, which was then featured on major media outlets in Hong Kong including Art and Piece, HK Artion & Life Style Journal by HKEJ.
Kacey Ko 高嘉莉是一位備受讚譽的香港藝術家，首次在2022年巴黎的“美術沙龍”（Salon Des Beaux Arts）上獲得廣泛認可，成為代表中國的少數決賽選手之一。Ko 的作品旨在為人們提供一個內省的媒介，並説明重新連接我們內心的寧靜與完整狀態。她的創作深受中國《易經》哲學變革思想的影響，並對西方油畫的質感和色彩充滿著濃厚的興趣，透過她的藝術實踐，Ko 重新詮釋了東西方文化相遇的概念。
Ko 曾在羅馬的達·芬奇博物館、巴黎大皇宮臨時展館，以及威尼斯雙年展的平行展之一的本博宮等眾多藝術機構展出她的作品。她的作品還在巴黎、紐約和邁阿密的各大藝術展上展出，包括2023年巴黎盧浮宮卡魯塞爾的國際藝術博覽會《Art Shopping》、2023年巴黎的《Art Capital》、2023年紐約曼哈頓的《Artexpo New York》，以及2023年佛羅里達州的《Spectrum Miami》。由於她在藝術方面的卓越成就，Ko 在2023年巴黎藝術展中獲得金獎，並榮獲Innoart獎的銀獎。在亞洲，Ko 也參與了首爾、印尼、新加坡和香港的多場展覽。她於2021年在JCCAC舉行了名為《綠洲》的個人展覽，該展覽隨後被香港多家主流媒體報導，包括《Art and Piece》、《HK Artion》以及《信報》旗下的《Life Style Journal》。
