【Hong Kong Artist Dialogue Series】HKMoA collections to create a unique artistic dialogue：Beyond Delight

Description

Art Square is where the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) realises the idea of a wall-less exhibition to extend the indoor exhibition gallery into an open public space. It also allows artists to draw inspiration from the rich HKMoA collections to create a unique artistic dialogue. 

Local artist group STICKYLINE and Cynthia Mak took inspiration from “Art of Gifting: The Fuyun Xuan Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles” exhibition and collaborated to create this corresponding large-scale public art installation Wandering through Snuff Bottles, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a whimsical reality by guiding them through an endless realm of imagination. Inspired by the thoughts and intentions of snuff bottle craftsmen, the artists skilfully employ contemporary visual art language to reinterpret the intricately crafted Chinese snuff bottles. This enchanting maze of snuff bottles adorned with captivating visual elements and changing landscapes offers visitors a unique artistic experience.
