Central Hong Kong is a scintillating mass of glittering glass skyscrapers, given the fact that there was limited land area which led to a need to build upwards. The trendy shopping neighbourhood boasts a propagation of malls linked by covered walkways that ferry the frenzy of shoppers to and fro to immerse themselves in the throes of consumption. Hong Sek Chern depicts the cascade of glass walkways, locked in connectedness, in her characteristic style.
Hong Sek Chern (b.1967) graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, followed by an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, University of London. Sek Chern’s Chinese ink interpretations of the Singapore urban landscape have won her several awards, including the 26th UOB Painting of the Year Grand Prize. She was recipient of the Young Artist Award from the National Arts Council and was selected to represent Singapore at the 25th Sao Paolo Biennale. Her works are part of several institutions and prestigious collections, including Singapore Art Museum, Taipei Fine Art Museum, and the National Arts Council (Singapore)
