《洪慧的蕾絲書法和水墨，記錄香港故事》
—Luke Chapman，Artbridger
洪慧的最新展覽《沒有辦法做乖乖》在巴黎和台北大獲成功後，如今榮耀回歸香港。在這個東西方文化匯聚的城市中，洪慧的作品充滿開創精神和活力，與香港不斷自我革新的特質完美契合。
此次展覽最引人注目的，是洪慧如何巧妙地將香港流行文化與她巴黎作品的內省氣息相結合。她創造了一種嶄新的藝術語言 :蕾絲畫法雕塑，以硬化蕾絲作為筆墨,書法形式呈現的織物雕塑。蕾絲書法能同時講述東西方文化以及過去與未來的故事。
展覽的核心是一系列以香港傳奇巨星梅艷芳為靈感的全新作品《Hong Kong Express》。洪慧用蕾絲書法雕塑，寫下《Why Why Tell Me Why》、《沒有辦法做乖乖》，如梅艷芳《壞女孩》的經典舞步般靈動，每件作品都凝結著瞬間的純粹動能。這些作品猶如對粵語流行音樂黃金時代的情書，捕捉了那個充滿無限可能的叛逆年代。
「梅姐的精神一直是反叛與重塑」，洪慧在預展中表示，「我想在這些新作品中捕捉她那種無畏的表現力。」她的確成功做到了。然而，這次展覽不只是懷舊。受梅艷芳精神啟發的作品，在香港這座吸引著無數夢想家與奮鬥者的城市中，賦予了更深的意義。
另一個以巴黎亞洲移民為主题的系列《巴黎一字一生》，蕾絲書法的《迷》字如幽靈般漂浮，提醒著新移民的迷茫與不安；《夢》字則如燈塔般閃耀，每個字都代表了一位巴黎新移民的一字一生。
在這座經歷無數風雨的城市中，洪慧的藝術既是一種慰藉，也是一種挑戰。她的作品喚起了人們對香港流行文化巔峰時代的回憶，同時激勵著我們去想像未來的更多可能性。當尖沙咀的霓虹燈映照在她蕾絲雕塑的細膩輪廓上時，一切變得清晰：洪慧對無邊界、無限創意世界的願景，如今比以往任何時候都更加鮮明和重要。

About the Collection
“No way to be good ” a solo exhibition by HONG, Wai
Anita Mui's iconic lyric "Unable to behave" from her controversial hit "Bad Girl" perfectly encapsulates the rebellious spirit that defined Hong Kong's cultural awakening. When the song was initially banned by Hong Kong Radio for its provocative themes, it paradoxically catapulted into a cultural phenomenon that resonated throughout Chinese communities. This watershed moment didn't just mark a pinnacle in Mui's illustrious career – it fundamentally transformed Cantopop and ushered in an era of bold cultural expression that would redefine Hong Kong's identity.
