Journal

Through the inspirational of practical lectures of Artist Toolkits with different artist talk through the years, it gave me lots of different perspectives from various artists working in their unique way. This helps me a lot and builds up the confidence toward further development in my art practice. The continuous practice of art does not only require the practice in art, painting or another kind of art making, but also communication and collaboration with different stakeholders.

Since graduating from my BA in Visual Arts in Hong Kong, I had learn there is never a single path to maintain the art practice and how to carry on the practice in relation to the current art market and situation as well.

The artist toolkit gave me some key notes to keep an eye on while developing my works after graduating, balancing out the working system, to reach out to the public in different ways due to the various practice in art.

Ian’s talk is really informative and providing alot of useful and concrete idea in the art field. After stepping out from the art school, and continue the practice, I have to balance out in different area as well. Such as the connection and communications with different sectors, the galleries, other artist friends, etc. As there are always collaboration in between different groups of people. Not only waiting for the contact from galleries on one side, but we can also do some group exhibition or art projects in local area. In the previous year, I have also tried to made some group shows in London with out classmates as well.

Moreover, through other artist talk through the year, understanding and learning the skill of writing proposal is also important. No matter is it for art fundings, proposal for artist residency, or other kinds of event. To state clear enough for people to understand my practice and aim for the projects is important as this helps me to seeks for support for the future visits or practice in art.

For 2023 - Exhibition

I am grateful to have collaborated with a few galleries and projects planned in the coming years in Hong Kong, including art fair, exhibition and in the format of experimental exhibition space with performing arts. But all the chances are not come out of the blue, and some of them keep a good connections and constantly update with the current practice and development through the period when I am studying at the UAL. The practice is shifting in some way, compared to my previous methodology of painting and the research are deepen as well. Understanding that the sustainability of practice could help my development in art market, shall I also take the balance in risk-taking in my painting. Trying out new things and maintaining sustainable output in practice, as I believe art-making is always for myself.

About Studio Space

To maintain my practice after graduation, I am planning to rent a share studio space with some of my classmates and I have also signed up for the Bow Art studio space, planned for viewing in the December.

Since the moving out from studio in UAL from the Oct 2022, I had been painting at home in a smaller scale, although I can paint in an alternative way, but somehow I would also like to return back to some practice in larger scale. Also, the studio space could also help to build up good connection with different local artist.

Applying for pHD

Attending the open day for research degree in UAL this year and talked with some current students doing pHD in UAL gave me an insight of the general preparation for applying for my further research in the topic.

During the Master program, this expend my interest in the topic related with language in painting, and develop the methodology through the research. I would like to keep on the research in response to the current situation of the world and other issue.

In order to apply for it, I am planning to organise a more structured timeline for myself next year, as well as to apply for the fundings for research program in the UK. Meanwhile, to search for related research stuff and tutors in UAL as well as other University in the UK.
