day²day

- Sin Sin Fine Art -

Artist: Hanafi, Lie Fhung, Rick Lewis, Sin Sin Man

Exhibition duration: 24 March - 24 May 2016

Venue: Sin Sin Fine Art, 52 & 54 Sai Street, Central, Hong Kong

Keeping up with a fast-paced life in Hong Kong, one can easily overlook diminutive occurrences that nevertheless provide stability and strength. On closer look, those seemingly insignificant day to day activities can turn out to be stepping stones to introspection and spirituality.

As Sin Sin Man writes in her artist statement: “Life is constant change and so we cherish the constants that are dispersed like bridgeheads throughout our life. They are anchors, towers and markers of a finite timeline.” The small, repetitive day to day occurrences make up some of those bridgeheads.

“day²day” at Sin Sin Fine Art continues until 24 May 2016. It features 4 artists’ interpretation of a “significant day  to day  insignificance”: Hanafi (Indonesia), Lie Fhung (Indonesia/Hong Kong), Rick Lewis (USA) and Sin Sin Man (Hong Kong).

Tai Ping Custon Rug “Energy Process” Launch Party

Artist: Sin Sin Man

Event Date: 10 May 2016 | 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Venue: 52 & 54 Sai Street, Central, HK

The Tai Ping’s custom rug, adapted from one of the ink-on-paper artworks by Sin Sin Man will be shown as one of the display items.  “Energy Process” as the design is named, is an interpretation of human body energy flow.  Strong and weak energy dynamics intertwine through the cleverly overlay of opulent silk to create a magnificent pattern and exquisite textures.  The 2 metre by 2.9 metre rug is a perfect manifestation of Tai Ping’s long established artisanship and celebration of the talent of Sin.

Tai Ping Carpet and Sin Sin Fine Art cordially invite you to join us for cocktails as we celebrate the launch of “ Energy Process” Carpet at Sin Sin Fine Art with “day²day” exhibition.

“The purpose of my paintings, large or small, has always been to take the viewer along with me on a shared journey of experience and feeling that allows them to observe the multiple changes of plane and intensity of colors and paints. This is especially true in my recent small scale Portraiture-Like works.

My act of painting is a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious and the orientation of myself to the world” - Julia Nee Chu.
