Secret de Boudoir系列 - 秘密闺房 2023

Curator

Luke Chapman

In the "Secret de Boudoir" series - Vanitas (秘密閨房), Hong Wai masterfully intertwines traditional ink techniques with symbolic motifs reminiscent of European Vanitas paintings. Through intricate depictions of lace-adorned lingerie and delicate perfume bottles juxtaposed with skulls, the artist invites viewers to contemplate the transient nature of beauty and the inevitable passage of time. This collaboration with Aubade not only showcases Hong Wai's unique artistic vision but also bridges the realms of fine art and fashion, offering a thought-provoking dialogue on mortality and material desire within a luxurious aesthetic framework.
