LING Pui Sze

Ling Pui Sze was born in Guangzhou, China in 1989 and moved to Hong Kong in 1997. In 2012, she graduated in fine arts (BFA) from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, receiving the Wucius Wong Creative Ink Painting Award at graduation.

Her solo exhibitions include It all begins in the Sea (2014) and Metamorphosis (2012). Joint exhibitions include Women + Ink | China + Hong Kong(2019) and (Art)Work From Home (2021). Her works were featured in Art Basel – Hong Kong, Art Central and Ink Asia and are collected by M+ Museum for Visual Culture, Hong Kong and private collectors.

Ling Pui Sze has focused on experimental ink painting and collage by reconstructing abstract organisms and landscapes on canvas with cells and water microscopic images and satellite images. When Ling is collaging ink-jet printing images, she does not treat it as a collage but painting. Ling strives to merge thousands of pieces of paper into one scene. She has named this technique the “Free-style Puzzle” as the creation processes without a draft. Layers of paper and enlarged digital images of pixels create texture in her work. Non-traditional ink lines are applied with pieces of xuan paper. The process of deconstructing and recomposing shows the organic forms continuously splitting and combining, like replicating the evolution of life. Concerning the relationship between the laws in nature, biological characteristics and human society development, Ling also presents her imagination by sculpture, moving images and installation.

凌氏創作了多個以實驗性水墨及拼貼為主的作品系列, 將細胞及水的顯微鏡圖像以及衛星圖像在畫布上重組為抽象生物和風景；她在創作時並非視其為拼貼, 而是另一種繪畫方式, 沒有明確草圖, 如「自由式拼圖」般令數千張大小不一的紙碎合成為一個完整的畫面, 畫面的紋理是由多層紙張和數碼影像被放大後所像素所構成, 非傳統的筆墨線條由細胞及水的圖像碎片組成。在解構與重組的過程中, 作品所呈現因偶發性而組合有機形態正如生命演變過程, 在畫布上重建另一個世界。同時她亦以不同媒介如雕塑、移動影像及裝置等探討大自然規律, 生物特性與人類社會發展的關係。
