Grotto Fine Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition Eudaemonia by Hong Kong emerging artist FUNG Hoi-shan. ‘Eudaemonia’ is a Greek word defined as “the good composed of all goods; an ability which suffices for living well; perfection in respect of virtue; resources sufficient for a living creature.” by Plato. The debut exhibition shows a body of works that implies the pursuit of not only a wealthy life but also a spiritual state which happiness can be ignited - Eudaemonia. With the depiction of animal skin patterns representing the artist’s genuine emotions, she explores the relationship between introspection and external representation. The artist fabricates her thoughts through every twist of lines within her works, and thus searches for the traces of real happiness hidden behind.

About the Artist Born in Hong Kong in 1993, Fung Hoi-shan graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016. Applying the techniques of traditional Chinese paintings, Fung works primarily with fine brushes and uses deep colour shades which create a dusky ambiance within her works. She expresses her most genuine feelings through the depiction of twists and movements of hair, meanwhile her works reflects the emotional linkages between individuals. She is especially skilled in using gold and silver colour to build rich layers that intertwine the reality and fantasy.
