蟻穎琳
生於1986年,香港
蟻穎琳,於香港浸會大學視覺藝術院畢業,現於香港居住及工作,以其超現實和內省的繪畫而聞名。作品以錦鯉魚頭角色為特色,靈感來自她的夢境和童年寵物魚的經歷。這些混合物種象徵著她對關係、認同和曖昧不清等主題的探索。魚人角色無言的面孔隱藏著內心的情感,反映了人際關係的複雜性和面對與眾不同的恐懼。她的畫作以香港的城市景觀為背景,捕捉了現實與幻想之間的張力,邀請觀眾參與既疏離又個人的敘事。透過這種時而夢幻時而現實的筆觸,探索個人與社會主題。

Ngai Wing Lam
Born in 1986, Hong Kong
Ngai Wing Lam graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. Ngai Wing-Lam, also known as Ant, is a Hong Kong-based artist celebrated for her surreal and introspective paintings. Ngai's work prominently features koi fish-headed characters, inspired by her dreams and childhood experiences with pet fish. These hybrids symbolize her exploration of themes such as relationships, identity, and ambiguity. The speechless faces of the koi fish characters conceal inner emotions, reflecting the complexities of human connections and the fear of being different. Set against Hong Kong's urban landscapes, her paintings capture the tension between reality and fantasy, inviting viewers to engage with narratives of alienation and individuality. Through this unique style, Ngai Wing-Lam offers a fantastical yet poignant exploration of personal and societal themes.
