CHARLOTTE MUI NGO-SUET

Mui’s unique visual representation demonstrates her identity as a Millennial artist, who combines pop culture, cartoon, and down-to-earth themes in the making of her Surrealist artworks.

Mui’s popular Tarot card series received sell-out success last year at Alisan Aberdeen’s group show Chinese Surrealism which was as part of the French May Arts Festival Associate Project in 2021.

Artist BiographyBorn in Hong Kong in 1996, Charlotte Mui is an emerging artist working mainly in watercolours and digital. Her work often reflects her own experiences, visions, and dreams while drawing inspiration from mythologies, art history, theatre, popular culture and home. Although Mui did not receive formal art training and instead studied English Literature and Art History at the University of Hong Kong, obtaining her BA in 2018, she has always enjoyed painting and as a child has won numerous international and local awards for her work. After a decade of painting competitively, Mui continues to search for her own voice and mode of expression. In 2020, she created her own deck of Tarot cards, “L’Œil de L’Âme Tarot”, which she uses exclusively for her fortune-telling endeavors. This series of Tarot cards was recently collected by Tate Library in the UK. This year Mui was selected to participate in HKWalls Mentorship Programme 2022, creating a mural which is currently on display at HK harbour waterfront.

Mui is currently working full time at Asia Art Archive.
