關於華欣   about wahyan

 

 

畫畫人，畫漫畫，做版畫，偶有寫作。熱愛山海動植物，鍾情詩歌。作品曾刊於香港不同紙上媒體，於西班牙、比利時、挪威展出。畫有《咩世界》漫畫連載，著有版畫詩畫集《蟾蜍夢多》，以及首個漫畫短篇《螳螂短打》。作品帶有預言性質，經常模糊虛構與現實之間的界限，以富有超現實意象的敍事結構窺視內心風景。

畢業於香港中文大學藝術系，於高中教學十年後，重當學生，去年在比利時安特衛普皇家藝術學院取得碩士，專修版畫，對圖像敘事、書籍出版、印刷技藝尤感興趣。近年跟友人成立「點印社」，專事印製事務。

 

Au Way Yan is a visual artist, comic artist, printmaker, and occasionally also a writer. She is passionate about mountains, seas, plants, animals, and also poetry. Her work has been published in Hong Kong newspapers, and exhibited in Spain, Belgium, and Norway. She created a comic series Me World, and published the book Dreams of a Toad which is a collage of prints, poems and stories. She also published the comics Praying Mantis Combat. Her work is of a prophetic nature and constantly blurs the boundary between reality and fiction, using surrealist narratives to peep into one’s mind.

 

Au Way Yan graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. After teaching at high schools for ten years, she became a student again and got a Master's degree from The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp this year, focusing on printmaking and is particularly interested in image-narratives, book publishing, and printing techniques. She also formed “Printhow”, a printing collective, with friends a few years ago.
