Gallery Visit and Lunch at Sin Sin Fine Art: Artist Michelle Fung & Guided Viewing of "2084-The World in Fifty-Nine Years"
Sin Sin Fine Art focuses on contemporary art from all over the world that is spiritual and inspiring, cultivating a collection of works by selected international artists. The Founder, Ms. Sin Sin Man presents artists not based on their market value but on a genuine appreciation of their vision and talent. She believes that art should be seamlessly integrated into our daily life as we will learn over lunch in her gallery.
About the exhibition:
“2084” features over thirty whimsical artworks across mediums, including woodcut paintings, ink paintings and drawings by local artist, Michelle Fung.
With five imaginary countries, “2084” is the world in fifty-nine years created by Michelle, which she has been developing for the past decade. This exhibition marks an important milestone of Michelle’s ten years of research and hard work; and a focus on her continuing chapter on two fantastical realms: Contradictoria (Polluta) and Northlandia. With thorough research, creativity, and the ability to articulate, each of these countries offers some in-depth and multi-dimensional narrative. Blending irony, imaginary fiction, and complex visual metaphors; “2084” is both a reflective tale and a whimsical re-imagining of the future, challenging our perceptions of reality, environmental crisis, and human agency.
About Michelle Fung:
Hong Kong Canadian interdisciplinary artist Michelle Fung’s lifelong interdisciplinary oeuvre revolves around a grand dystopian world-building narrative in year 2084. In recent years, she has focused on woodcut drawings and paintings of imagined future worlds. Made with detailed carving and layers of rendering, these sculptural paintings on wood feature surreal landscapes, dotted with magical animals, with intricate texture and carved pattern. These imagined worlds offer a glimpse of how our future would look had we continued a path of unfettered consumption.
