ANNIE LAI-KUEN WAN
Born in Hong Kong
Currently lives and works in Hong Kong
Karin Weber Gallery artist Annie Lai-kuen Wan is a Hong Kong-based contemporary ceramic artist who takes as her subject matter everyday objects and transforms them into beautiful objects injected with meaning.
Annie Lai-kuen Wan, born in Hong Kong, developed an early interest in traditional ceramics. Wan’s signature works include an ancient poem- captured in the dead of night by “borrowing” the characters from common Hong Kong signs (with the assistance of plaster casts). She later transforms these traditional Chinese characters into beautiful wall objects that form an ancient poem. The artist has also captured an entire library of vintage texts by preserving their forms in plaster.
The artists holds a Master of Fine Arts from Chinese University of Hong Kong, a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a Higher Certificate in Studio Ceramics from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in addition to a Diploma of Design.
