Andreas Von Buddenbrock (The Ink Trail)
Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, Andreas von Buddenbrock (The Ink Trail) works with a collection of fine-liner ink pens, Andreas aims to capture the ambience of the sites he depicts and the personality of the people he portrays. His love for black and white imagery over the years have pushed him to constantly evolve his realistic drawing style, focusing even more on contrasts, textures and overall composition. If he’s not working from his home he can most likely be found somewhere outside in nature, sketchbook and pens ready-at-hand.
After graduating from BASIS School of Art in Stockholm in 2011, he went on to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Hong Kong and the U.S. (Savannah and Atlanta, GA). Today, Andreas spends his time working as an artist and freelance illustrator in Hong Kong under the pseudonym “The Ink Trail”, creating images for both private and commercial clients such as FC Barcelona, Hang Seng Bank, Tanner De Witt, Klasse14 and more.
Ann Wong
A seasoned ceramicist and educator, Ann Wong is a Hong Kong based artist whose practice revolves around creating fantastical ceramics that explore notions of materiality, form, and colour theory. Wong splits her studio time between experimenting with colour through watercolour drawings, and creating organically elegant ceramics and stoneware art. With a longstanding relationship with the medium, Wong states that her current practice is less concerned with creating formally and technically perfect work, and more preoccupied with exercising creative agency through the highly malleable medium. Wong's current works take a highly playful and child-like form, her signature human-dog hybrid character was inspired by her beloved dog whose likeness can be found in many of her ceramic works.
Ann Wong graduated from RMIT University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Artss (Fine Art Ceramics) and is currently working and living in Hong Kong.
Brandon Ho
Dudemakesart aka Brandon Ho, is a self-taught abstract artist based in Hong Kong whose works have a vibrant and free colour palette. His markings are used to convey the spectrum of human emotions and beyond. His paintings and digital works are snapshots of the non-physical world around us. Since 2019, the artist has had a few small exhibitions, notable was his recent NFT works at the 2021 Digital Art Fair in Hong Kong.
The artist is also a musician/rapper/singer known as Ghost Style, part of the hip hop group 24Herbs and indie band “Site Access”. He’s released albums, commercial projects, worked with many major Canto-pop artist and played shows across Asia. His voice has been heard by millions on Youtube and widely loved on the cult racer “Initial D” movie.
Camie Lyons, Wayward Thinking, 2019, Bronze, 66cm x 80cm x 30cm
Camie Lyons
Camie Lyons' work tries to find a balance and beauty in the perpetual cycle of memory, perception and daily life. They are sensitive and enduring, a form of organic linear abstraction that strikes a chord. Lyons' background in dance equips her with a keen sense of timing, rhythm and line. A dancer's sense of balance and movement is captured and translated into linear sculpture. "The sculptures can be shifted around a room, placed at different angles, lit to create drama, this makes them quite versatile and surprising." Says Lyons.
Her oeuvre is about flex and tension, like limbs of a tree, parts are growing away from their core, resembling a pure change in Lyon's sense of direction with her work. Like muscle memory losing its gravitas, clinging to what once was, the works are self-evolving, rising out of lily pads and other perches that resemble organic, pure objects found in nature.
