My First Oil Painting Exhibition/Art Project in Hong Kong From March 12th - 30th at Festival Walk!

Dear all,

I can't believe I finally have my first oil painting exhibition in Hong Kong! Thank you so much to Festival Walk. Moreover, this is also my first time to do collaboration art project in Hong Kong as well, and I am so glad I could bring my dear friend, Yann Le Goec, to join this amazing project collaborating with Festival Walk. I am so grateful! I've been going to Festival Walk since my high school years, and I would never thought one day I could have an exhibition in this incredible place! I hope you guys will enjoy the photos!

Festival Walk asked me to paint 10 special paintings as the backdrops for the window installation, and here are the results! I just have to say they match the themes so well, I am so happy with the outcome!

These three paintings are based on the theme, "Colorful Cotton Balls". Yann and I decided to use daily life materials and turn them into a fun project that combines art and fashion together!

These two paintings are based on the theme "Paper", I immediately think of using cardboard paper to create the paintings. I cut out some pieces, and painted on them, and stamped them onto the canvas! I really love the gold color that I used, and paper relates to printing too, so I really think these two paintings fit the theme very nicely, hope you guys think so as well haha!

These two paintings are based on the theme, "Aluminum tint foil". These are the most changeling ones for me to paint. I really hope you guys will go see these ones in real because the textures are amazing, and too bad don't show in these photos! I also put a layer of glitters on the canvas, so the outcome is kinda shiny, please go take a look at Festival Walk!

These three paintings are based on the theme, "Plastic Straws", and they are the first ones that I painted for this project. I absolutely love this section so much! I really want to say a BIG thank you to the production team! Look at the plastic straws decoration that they did! AMAZING! Yann and I came up the idea and showed them some reference photos, and wow, they just did it way better than I ever imagined, really thank you guys so much!

 

These paintings are from my "I:Individuality" exhibition that held in Tokyo last year. I can't believe I finally can show these paintings in my hometown, Hong Kong! I am speechless! Hope you guys will come take a look and show me some love and support please!

I really love the last photo hahahaha, the photographers told us to give some different poses, and guess what, we were all just working it haha, so cute!

Finally, I want to show you guys the photos that matter to me the most!

The last photo is the most important one because without any of them, this amazing project will never come through. Thank you for having trust in me E, I love you. Thank you to Festival Walk for giving me an once of a life time opportunity to work with a famous mall. And thank you to the amazing production team, the work is just absolutely impeccable. And of course thank you to my dear friend Yann for joining me for this amazing moment in my life, I am so glad I get to share it with you.

Allow me to write something in Chinese to finish this post:

活動結束了以後, 記者朋友們問了我一個問題， 你對黎小姐的過世有什麼看法？ 我立刻說我不做任何回應。 然後我說我很愛這個人，所以不做任何回應。 記者朋友們就繼續問那你認識她嗎？ 你上一次和她碰面是什麼時候嗎？有合作過嗎？我就說去年在event有看到她， 然後訪問就結束了。

我有我自己的方法去想念一個人，不用跟任何人交待。 去年第一次在日本開畫展， 她在我的facebook上面留言說要我加油， 恭喜我夢想成真。她知道我愛她而且非常尊重她，這才是重點！她知道，我知道，這就夠了。

Love always,

Joey

March 12, Festival Walk at 3:00pm, please come and support me! 「又一城」呈獻「創意櫥窗‧又一城」!

「又一城」呈獻「創意櫥窗‧又一城」

時裝界紅人Joey Ma 夥拍法藉櫥窗設計藝術家Yann Le Goec

打造全新時尚藝術園地

隨著春夏時裝紛紛上場，四處均散播著春日氣息，由3月12日至3月30期間，匯聚時尚與藝術文化元素的又一城將首次與時裝界紅人Joey Ma及法藉時裝及櫥窗設計藝術家Yann Le Goec聯手打造首個揉合時裝及藝術元素的展覽。Joey 亦將首次於香港公開展出其油畫作品，Yann更會充當是次展覽的裝置設計師，將五大藝術元素帶到又一城。除了靜態的藝術及時裝展覽外，週末期間，又一城更呈獻「翩翩．躍動．又一城」舞蹈表演，讓顧客欣賞動靜結合的藝術匯演。

Joey Ma 夥拍 Yann Le Goec   打造全新時尚藝術園地

眾所周知，Joey Ma乃炙手可熱的時裝界新寵兒，曾與不少品牌合作，但大家未必知道Joey於油畫藝術方面亦有一番研究。Joey於大學時期亦選修了繪畫課程，從而對藝術產生濃厚興趣並開始了畫油畫的愛好，至今已達八年之久。創意無限的他將油畫顏料與蠟塊融合，製成了一種獨創的顏料配合其獨得的畫風，作品別樹一格。繼去年於日本舉行的“I:Individuality”個人展覽後，Joey今年夥拍法藉時裝及櫥窗設計藝術家好友Yann Le Goec，為又一城帶來全新藝術園地，從裝置設計到展覽畫作均由二人合力打造而成。Yann是駐日本的法藉時裝及櫥窗設計藝術家，曾擔任Givenchy日版的時裝設計師，其後於大阪ESMOD國際時裝藝術學院擔任導師。2002年起，Yann移居到東京並與H.P.FRANCE Group合作開設專為新進時裝設計師而提供的園地 - Wut Berlin。作為Wut Berlin的主理人之一，Yann亦親力親為為Wut Berlin設計櫥窗，Yann於視覺藝術上的成就得到又一城的青睞，因而將其櫥窗藝術帶到又一城。

由3月12日至3月30期間，又一城會於中庭擺放五個分別以「『鋁』賞霓裳」、「魅影幻『鏡』」、「『棉』棉飛花」、「『紙』醉情迷」及「『塑』色繽紛」，五大物料建成的大形櫥窗裝置，櫥窗內將展出最新春夏時裝及服飾，外圍則展出Joey Ma的個人畫作。設計師Yann 的設計靈感來自「鳥語花香」的景致，他認為開放式的櫥窗象徵藝術是無邊無際並富有自由色彩，展出的春夏時裝好比活潑好動的鳥兒，準備展翅高飛，為春夏賦予一種活力生機。

Love always,

Joey
