Inkgo Lam Ka Yu (b. 1992, Hong Kong), graduated from the department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014. She is a contemporary artist specialized in making bamboo.
In 2020, she started learning bamboo steamer making from Master Lui Ming. In 2021, Inkgo's bamboo artworks were exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong and in 2022, her works were featured in Hong Kong China, Japan, Canada and Britain which are also collected by private collectors. Since childhood, Inkgo has admired the perseverance of traditional craftsman. She hopes to continue the traditions of heritage crafts in Hong Kong and transform bamboo into the language of art, bringing the aesthetics of ancient Chinese art to the contemporary stage. Artist statement Being an artisan to study bamboo intensively in the hope of achieving enlightenment with her hands and time. Like the thinker of Neo-Confucianism, we devote to obtain knowledge by investigating the nature of things. 林嘉裕 (Inkgo)(1992年,香港)在2014年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系,現為竹工藝術家。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傳統竹工藝。2021年,她的首批竹藝作品於香港巴塞爾藝術展中展出並獲收藏。2022年,林氏作品相續展出於香港、日本、加拿大及英國。林嘉裕自幼仰慕工藝師精湛的傳統手藝,盼以其創作傳承香港非物質文化遺產工藝,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 成為工藝之格竹者,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,精純完美的竹工技藝更是鄰國日本匠師學習之指標,惜中國竹藝未能在歷史洪流中迎風接浪。雖為憾事,但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。 |
