Falling Into A Trance: Solo Exhibition by Man Fung-yi & Mok Yat-san, featuring the latest sculptures and installations of the artist couple Man Fung-yi and Mok Yat-san, will be going to transform the exhibition venue into the setting of an “artist family” for visitors to discover the versatility of Hong Kong sculptors.

Man Fung-yi will exhibit her works orderly at the gallery, reflecting her way of making home. Her recent works Weaving Intimacy For My Mother: Thousand Water, Thousand Eyes, Thousand Mountains & Thousand Flowers, Girl-land, Embroidery Of Happiness and Weaving Intimacy: A Suspended Moment represent the interrelatedness of art and life as a female artist/wife/mother/daughter/sister.

Mok Yat-san will showcase Relieving Anxiety, Taking Up Residence, Arising Continuity & Birth in Pure Land of his latest series Falling Into Trance which incorporate the motifs from landscape, like blue lotus, swallow and butterfly, to depict his endless fascination, concern and re-shape of nature, for instance, the ever-changing cloudscape and melting stones. As a male artist/husband/father/home guardian of this artist family, he creates a scene of courtyard in Chinese style with tangible strength, masculinity and stability that welcomes the viewers to visit and interact with his sculpture installation.

Both Man and Mork think that while concentrating on art creation, artists sometimes will reach a stage of trance, in which reality interlocks with fantasies, secular world merges with unforgettable memories, to give birth to inconceivable future imagination—an ephemeral yet eternal stage.
