Inkgo Lam Ka Yu (b. 1992, Hong Kong) graduated from the department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014 and now is a contemporary artist specializing in the bamboo craftsmanship. Lam is the apprentice of Master Lui Ming and aspires to create contemporary bamboo artworks of Chinese aesthetics through traditional techniques.
In 2020, Lam started learning bamboo steamer making, one of the Intangible Cultural Heritage items of Hong Kong. In her works were featured in Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Vancouver etc. She was also invited as a representative of Hong Kong artisan to attend London Craft Week 2023. She hopes to pass the intangible cultural heritage on, and at the same time, transform bamboo into the language of art, along with the wish to bring the aesthetics of ancient Chinese art to the contemporary stage.
Artist statement
Being an artist to study bamboo craftsmanship intensively in the hope of achieving enlightenment with her hands and time. We devote to obtain knowledge by investigating the nature of things. Lam believes the spirit of craftsmanship includes beauty and virtue. Chinese bamboo art will be once again flourishing and lasting.
林嘉裕(1992年,香港)在2014年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系,現為竹藝藝術家。她師承香港末代竹蒸籠師傅呂明先生,志於以傳統技藝創作具東方美學的當代竹藝。
2020年,林嘉裕結緣呂明師傅,並學習香港非物質文化遺產之一的傳統竹蒸籠工藝。林氏作品相繼於香港、東京、倫敦、溫哥華等地展出,更代表香港工藝師參加2023年倫敦工藝週。林氏自幼仰慕工藝師的態度和精湛的傳統手藝,盼以其創作傳承工藝,同時把竹轉化成為藝術語言,將中國古代工藝美學帶進當代藝術。
藝術家自述
以雙手孵孕,以歲月體悟。格物致知,終成道。中國竹藝曾風華盛世,卻在歷史洪流中迎風接浪。林氏相信正是風浪中之反思締造進步,工藝精神包含美與德,互相學習,彼此突破,便能長存。
