BEYOND CHAOS, ONLY CREATION — Exhibition at The Gallery of Hong Kong Art School
The three artists in this joint exhibition – Waverly Wong, Toby Wong, and Maria Cheung – come from diverse backgrounds. It is hard to believe they studied together at the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT School of Art, a fascinating twist of fate that can also serve as a source of inspiration. The ideas that sparked from their unexpected encounter developed into the central theme of this exhibition.
These three artists believe that once the "random thoughts mechanism" is activated, it is as if our senses, consciousness, and mind are freely wandering, giving rise to fragmented thoughts that are, in fact, "gifts to artists". By closely observing these random thoughts, they can reflect on the present and transform them into deeply personal creations, a process of recognizing and integrating their authentic selves.
The trio maintain that creativity and inspiration are not born from emptiness, but rather from their unique experiences, stories, and understandings of the world.
