Art Hur (US)
/
Art Hur is a queer, multilingual, multidisciplinary artist who creates new visual languages using abstract and minimal phenomena. His paintings’ connection to Hong Kong, through the sustainable medium of cardboard, is less abstract. Cardboard in Hong Kong is known as 紙皮 jí pèih, literally “paper skin.” Hur harvests freshly discarded paper skins to paint with, cardboard of all shapes and sizes, shed by the metropolis as it digests a flow of endless deliveries to stay alive. In this way, Hur’s work repurposes overlooked objects into meaningful visual language. Hur’s poems and prose follow a similar trajectory: overlooked moments are documented, amassed and, through faint narrative lines, distilled with meaning.
Art Hur 是一位酷兒、多語言、跨界別藝術家。他透過抽象和極簡現象構造新的視覺語言。 通過硬紙皮這一可持續媒介，令他的畫作與香港的聯繫不那麼抽象。 紙皮，意為「紙的皮膚」。 Hur 將剛被丟棄的紙皮蒐集來作畫，形狀和大小各異的紙皮在大都市依賴存活、無休止的貨物運輸過程中被遺棄。通過這種創作方式，Hur 的作品為被忽視的物件重新賦予有意義的視覺語言。Hur 的詩歌和散文創作遵循類似的軌跡：記錄、積累被忽視的時刻，並通過隱約的敘事提煉出深刻的意義。
