“How do we, as humans, individuals, and members of a community, embrace the destruction and recreation of our socio-economic cityscape, collective memories and interwoven identities?” — Elaine Chiu

Growing up in Yau Tsim Mong District, one of the busiest neighbourhoods in the city, Hong Kong artist Elaine has witnessed the drastic and continuous transformation of the urban space and environment since her childhood. The transient, fluidic, intersecting memories and impressions about Hong Kong have been deep-rooted in her consciousness and self-identity.

With the effect of the amendment of the Building Ordinance in 2011, thousands of sign boards, hand-written or neon-lit, have since been removed all around the city. In the past three years, Elaine initiated an on-site sketching campaign to record the fleeting cityscape with her paintbrush in the past three years. Street-sketching prompts her to contemplate the disappearance of numerous heritage buildings and tenement houses in the local community under rapid urban renewal.

Titled 𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚, this exhibition is a continuation of Elaine’s previous on-site sketching and community art project. Centring her research around endangered buildings, architecture, cityscape, and memories of Hong Kong, her work explores different organic carriers, and their relationship with time and people, including community spirit, architectural structures and memories, that are formed bottom-up in the urban space. This exhibition features Elaine’s latest acrylic paintings, watercolour works on paper and a fresh to her practice sculptural work. ✨

This solo art exhibition will be on view from 6th May to 6th June, 2021 in JPS Art Gallery. The opening reception will be on 6th May, 2021, 5-8pm.

Mural

慧惠 X 旺角上海街618號（618 Shanghai Street）

Featuring: Urban Renewal Authority ＆ Ample Construction Ltd
合作單位：市區重建局（市建局） 及 盈信建築

The shophouse cluster at Shanghai Street comprises 10 no. of veranda type pre-war buildings, typical of streetscapes in old Hong Kong streetscape.

The project is for the mural showing the history and the daily life of the people in the past. What details and stories on the mural do you find?

上海街項目範圍內的10幢戰前「騎樓」式建築，是典型上居下舖的「唐樓」，此壁畫是反映當時香港街道風貌和百姓的生活日常。

暖和的夕陽下有街坊在歸家路上學杯涼茶，清清熱氣；有人走到天台「呼吸」一下，減減壓力；孩子想在街上多逛一會，但快要回家吃飯了；有個女孩在想：「鞋子近來有點窄，看來又要穿姐姐的舊鞋子了⋯⋯」，又想「不知道爸爸的單車修理好了沒有？要不要去問老闆一下？」



此作品看似是一個場景，但內裏有千百個故事，你看到的又是怎樣的呢？



畫中的店舖和招牌是來自不同年代的，由50至60年代照顧街坊生活日常的店舖如順行單車行，到2009年收購前專營裝修物品如多麗牆紙，因此在現實從未出現過的畫面上，我選擇用黃昏的色調去營造奇幻的氣氛。

【創意現場】以畫筆記錄本土街道風貌

一幢幢的舊式唐樓、密密麻麻的手寫招牌、五花八門的臨時檔攤……這一切都是香港最獨特、最具本土氣息的城市景貌。鍾情於街景寫生的九十後畫家趙綺婷（Elaine），選擇以畫筆與水彩記錄下香港這些獨一無二的城市面貌。在一次又一次的寫生經歷中，Elaine重新看清了我城的面容，也令她更懂得珍惜這片充滿情懷的土地。
