Artist Bio 藝術家簡介:
Kacey Ko is a Hong Kong based artist, dedicated to exploring the relationship between human psychology and the arts. Building on her background in psychology, she began her practise by examining ways where art as a medium helps us reconnect with our innermost selves. Influenced by her unique experiences with Chinese philosophies of change (Yijing) and her fascination towards the western medium of oil paint, Ko reinterprets the conception of east-meets-west through her work. Ko’s latest solo exhibition at JCCAC titled Oasis, was featured on media outlets including Art and Piece, HK Artion & Life Style Journal by HKEJ. Her works were also shortlisted for Salon Des Beaux Arts 2021 and selected to represent China as a finalist at Salon Des Beaux Arts 2022 in France. In Spring of 2023, Ko's works were featured at major art shows in Paris and New York, including Art Capital 2023 at Grand Palais Éphémère, Artexpo New York 2023 at Manhattan and Art Shopping 2023 at Carrousel du Louvre.
Ko enjoys depicting the skies with a sense of dreaminess and tranquillity, whilst inviting the audience to discover calmness through the vastness of the earth and find relief through the richness of colours. Through the creative interplay of unique colours, textures and shapes in her works, Ko recreates the free spirited essence of nature and encourages viewers to experience moments of introspection and to reconnect with our mind’s inner state of dynamism, wholeness and compassion.
高嘉莉是一位生於香港的藝術家,並致力探究人類心理與藝術之間的關係。在其心理學背景的基礎上,高氏積極研究藝術如何以最純粹的方式為媒介,讓大家連繫內心最真實的自我。高氏亦愛研讀易經,因此其創作理念同時包含著對易學的獨特見解以及對西方油畫藝術的想法,並通過作品重新詮釋並柔合東西方的文化概念。2022年她的作品被提名代表中國入圍2022年法國秋季美術沙龍展及2023法國巴黎大皇宮Art Capital國際藝術博覽會,並將於今年春季參展美國紐約曼克頓及法國巴黎羅浮宮卡魯塞爾廳之博覽展。
高氏喜歡用夢幻和寧靜的感覺描繪天空,同時邀請觀眾在浩瀚的大地中發現平靜,在豐富的色彩中找到解脫。 通過在她的作品中獨特的顏色、紋理和形狀的創造性相互作用, 重現了自然自由奔放的本質,並鼓勵觀眾體驗內省的時刻,並重新與我們內心的活力、完整和同情的狀態聯繫起來。
