Art in ResonanceThe Peninsula Hong Kong 00:00
Hong Kong’s ‘Grande Dame’ unveils the lineup for its ‘Art in Resonance’ programme this year, inviting leading artists Angel Hui, Albert Yonathan Setyawan, and Dr William Lim to transform the hotel with their creative practices. Coinciding with Hong Kong Arts Month, the site-specific commissions span embroidery, ceramics, and architectural installation.
Hui brings Chinese gongbi-style delicacy to a vibrant façade artwork of embroidered goldfish. ‘Swimming in Light’ takes over the first-floor windows of the hotel to welcome guests and visitors in a playful, poetic manner. Setyawan’s ‘Metamorphic Modulation’ presents repeated forms painstakingly handcrafted through modelling and casting to investigate its sculptural effect and the beauty of raw colour and texture. Lim’s live-in-environment installation is based on his ‘A Bright Future’ oil piece, translating the artwork into a large-scale, hand-tufted tapestry that challenges dimensional awareness.
