Joey Leung Ka-yin (lives and works in Hong Kong) received her BA and MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2000 and 2007 respectively. She incorporates multi-media into her gongbi painting, transforming her feelings about and fantasies of contemporary daily life into painted stories.

Artist’s Statement 
‍
Gongbi painting requires calm and focus. For me, it is like a key that opens a door to another universe. On the foundation of gongbi painting, I blend in other materials or contemporary cultural references. I do not want to have my imaginative possibilities restricted by traditional frameworks; I hope to bring my work closer to my life and desires.

The Dwarves Who Borrow Words
‍This bookcase, comprised of little compartments containing different books and objects, can be assembled in different ways. This series diverges from my previous presentations of text in the form of doggerel. Based on the thought that recurring whispers in your heart can evolve into subconscious ideas that are eventually expressed in real-life situations, I display different phrases and sentences in horizontal and vertical text. These are the fourth and fifth sections in the series. 

Flowers and Vessels
‍When a vessel becomes a flower’s resting place, the flower defines the vessel as a flower vessel, representing another kind of coexistence. How should flowers and their vessels be paired? This series attempts to find a suitable vessel for different flowers and considers the relationship between people and their surroundings.

藝術家自述

工筆需要冷靜與和專注的特質，於我而言就像打開通往另一宇宙之門的鑰匙，而在工筆的基礎上，混合其他媒材或是當代文化語言創作，是希望不受傳統框架限制想像的可能性，讓創作更貼近生活及隨心。

《借字的小矮人》 
這是一個自由組合的書櫃，由擺放不同書目和物件的小櫃組成，這系列一改以往用打油詩的方式來呈現文字，本著如果內心碎碎唸， 那暗藏的話語還是會在某處顯現出來的想法，將文字以橫與直的閱讀方向展示出不同的語句。 是次展出為系列中第四及第五格小櫃。

《花與花器》
當器皿成為花的落腳地，花便令器皿有所定義，這是另類的共生關係。花與花器應如何搭配?這系列藉著為不同的花尋找合適器皿，思考人與所在地的關係。
