Shum Hok Kiu’s artistic practice include painting and sculpture. Shum sees her artmaking as a form of life documentation and emotional expression, while exploring the inner self and the effects of uncertainty.
Shum’s works are greatly inspired by the daily scenarios that she encounters. She simplifies the scenes or objects from her daily life into shapes and transforms them into abstract forms.
She incorporates elements of night scenery as she is especially drawn to the contrast and relationship between darkness and light. Photos taken at night become the foundation of her paintings, transforming real scenarios into a quiet and peaceful space from reality.
Shum Hok Kiu (b. 2001) recently received her Bachelor of Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University.
