At Soluna Fine Art’s latest group exhibition “Once Upon Whispering,” 6 emerging female artists from Hong Kong born in the 1990s are featured, including Chan Chung-yan, Lau Sze-man, Leung Hoi-nga, Ng Yui-yan, Lai Hui-man, and Wong Yuk-shan. From abstract to figurative painting, they connect inner emotions to the external world through their works, gently narrating various emotions and aspirations for ideals in the big era.

Chen Songxin practices mindfulness to create abstract paintings with a focus on large areas of color. This type of creation not only purifies the artist’s spirit, but also showcases the connection between energy, consciousness, non-duality, and creation through vibrant colors in the artwork. The artist uses color and form to create interpretive and philosophical dialogues, guiding the audience on a journey of self-reflection and exploring alternative perspectives on identity.

Liu Shimin believes that painting can capture complex emotions that are difficult to describe in words, much like writing a diary. Sometimes she will remove elements from the canvas, using subtraction to transform her emotions, ultimately conveying feelings through abstract images. In addition to acrylic and oil paints, she occasionally uses common student supplies such as tape, sticky notes, pencils, and colored pencils to create more delicate records of her feelings.

Liang Kaiya is deeply attracted to misplaced elements in daily life. She constructs a world between reality and fantasy through abstract images, with her artistic expression stemming from the reconstruction of perceptions and the amplification of the imaginary world. Her recent works showcase a chaotic and blurry abstract visual space, depicting the personal journey of coexisting with difficulties during the pandemic.

Wu Ruiying excels in transforming current emotions into traces of vitality in her work. Throughout the creative process, she utilizes iconic overlapping layers and bold colors and materials, resulting in a visually striking collision. Wu’s work showcases a balance between imagination and reality. She expresses a longing for ideals and an exploration of freedom in her creations, yet the ideal forms displayed always contradict themselves, revealing the artist’s self-exploration in the creative process.

Li Xuwen starts with the daily life of urban living as the starting point, capturing ordinary scenes of people interacting with urban spaces. In her creations, she shapes the subjects into huge human figures, giving them more meaning and mystery. The audience resonates with the scenes and feelings of loneliness in these familiar yet unfamiliar elements.

Wang Yushan’s recent work focuses on the inner state of people. She believes that in this era of information explosion, emotions are an important part of personality. She mainly uses oil painting or mixed media, digital images, ink, video, and text on canvas to depict the contours of people in abstract figurative forms, revealing personal emotions and ambiguous relationships between people through thick layers of colors and symbols.

Feel free to visit the exhibition and find echoes of life in this city from each person’s work.
