Born in 1993, Hong Kong

Giraffe Leung Lok Hei holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His artistic practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of local Hong Kong culture, architecture, and urban development. The artist's subtle observations of everyday life in Hong Kong and reflections on "normalcy" render his work an experience that invites the audience to rethink their personal identity and imagination towards Hong Kong. Leung’s flexible use of various media, combined with his emotional projections, creates a distinct artistic language. By employing a range of materials, his works navigate the ambiguity between the seen and the unseen, guiding the audience to re-experience aspects of society that should be recognized yet are often taken for granted and overlooked.

His most significant series, "Coins — Memories of Hong Kong," prominently features Hong Kong coins. By employing various chemical techniques to alter the coins' surfaces, Leung creates evocative representations of both currently exists and lost scenes from Hong Kong. This body of work not only reflects his personal memories of his home city but also addresses the broader theme of the inevitable evolution of urban identity. Utilizing tens of thousands of coins as a fundamental component of his visual narrative, Leung underscores the intricate relationship between his art and the socio-cultural shifts occurring in Hong Kong.

In recent years, the artist has continued to use everyday found objects as a medium for creation, responding to the absurdities of society through art in the rapidly changing and unsettling daily life. In documenting the abnormalities of the present, Leung brings art to the streets, encouraging the public to reflect on the power dynamics between their surroundings and bodily politics.

生於1993年，香港

梁洛熙畢業於香港中文大學藝術文學系研究所，長期關注香港本土文化、建築與城市發展等議題。他對香港一事一物的細微觀察，以及對所謂「常態」的反思，令他的作品宛如一個讓觀眾重新構想對香港想像及一己身分認同的經驗。其對各種媒介的靈活運用，加上個人的情感投射，形成了一種別樹一格的藝術語言。透過運用各式不同媒材，他的作品遊走於看見與看不見之間的曖昧，帶領觀眾重新經驗一些社會上應該要被看見卻又被習以為常、視而不見的風景。

藝術家名為《錢幣 - 香港回憶》系列以港元硬幣創作，透過使用化學藥水使硬幣加速氧化及變色，從而使部分硬幣生銹變黑，拼湊出香港多個依舊存在或已消失的地標， 梁氏不單是在回應自身對香港的回憶，亦同時在回應城中那無可避免的變化。他在作品中使用大量的硬幣創作彷如畫布，使其融合在作品中成為不可分離的視覺元素，以此回應香港的社會環境及身分認同所面臨的衝擊和轉變。

這幾年間，藝術家繼續以日常現成物為創作媒介，在急速變化的不安日常中，以藝術創作即時回應社會荒誕；在記錄一切的異常之時，把藝術帶到街頭，與公眾一同反思周邊事物與身體政治的權力關係。
