Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a blurred, hazy landscape image with a text overlay that reads "The stove is as violence as the possessions." The visual elements create a sense of obscurity and ambiguity, with the text providing a thought-provoking contrast to the serene backdrop. The artwork appears to employ a minimalist style, using a limited color palette and simple composition to convey a complex message about the relationship between material possessions and violence.

Ellen Pau 鮑譪倫

1961 , Chinese

A key figure in Hong Kong’s art scene, Ellen Pau (b. 1961, Hong Kong) raises our awareness of our own physical presence and ignites a contemplation of what it means to be, to exist, here, now, and beyond that, the space each of us occupies. Born in Hong Kong and a graduate from Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a diploma in Diagnostic Radiography in 1982, Pau has worked as a radiographer in Queen Mary Hospital ever since. Pau was plunged into the Hong Kong art scene by her intense interest in video art, new media art, as well as other art forms such as music, poems and performances. Beyond artistic creation, Pau has also been a leader in the promotion, curation and education of art and culture in Hong Kong through founding several important initiatives such as Videotage and the Microwave International New Media Arts Festival. ...
