Hung Fai
A Veiled Revelation
November 29 - December 30, 2025
Opening Reception: November 29 (Sat), 2-6 pm
Following his representative Traces series, this exhibition presents an entirely new body of ink works by Hung Fai. Continuing Hung’s exploration of the ink medium, the works employ folding and diffusion techniques to construct layered, interwoven compositions, showcasing a distinctive conceptual visual language. The new series Ravelling, Maze and Reconstruction breaks away from the rules set in his earlier works and highlights the mutual pull between artist and medium. At the same time, Hung turns to more private emotions, hinting at the tension between personal pursuits and the expectations of family and community. The new series incites a mental and visual collision, as traces of tradition, heritage and familial lineage quietly surface, all unified by the essence of ink as a medium.
是次展出其代表性《痕》系列之後的全新水墨創作,展覽延續熊輝對水墨媒介的探索,透過摺疊與滲透的技法,建構出層次交織的畫面,展示其獨特的概念性視覺語言。是次新系列《凝》、《迷》與《重構》打破前作所定下的規則,進一步呈現出創作者與媒材互為牽引的關係。另一方面,熊氏亦於作品處理更私密的情感,隱含他在個人追求與家庭及群體期望之間的拉扯。熊氏的新系列帶來心靈與視覺的碰撞,作品以水墨媒介的精髓貫連一切,傳統、傳承與家族血脈的痕跡於紙上悄然浮現。

熊輝 (1988年生於香港) ,2013年從香港中文大學畢業,主修藝術。在當代表藝術實踐的啟發下,熊輝發展出結合視覺與觀念語言的獨特表達,並擴闊水墨藝術的邊界。作品籍着解構傳統水墨媒介的元素,並透過一系列物料實驗,建立起清晰的觀念框架,讓繪畫過程中的感知經驗被詩意地注入,轉化為層次豐富的視覺圖像。
