Poon Fai Wong, Nick (1984 - )
A ceramic artist, obsessed with creation, active in local and foreign ceramic exhibitions. Art works collection by Hong Kong Heritage Museum and personal.
Creative Concept
Nick focuses on the connection between human beings and the inner spirit. Aiming to explore this relationship through clay—a natural material born from the earth—he incorporates human contact with the clay along with various pottery techniques and installations. He uses wheel-throwing to explore his own circumstances, and sculptures to glimpse into the relationship between the human psyche and physicality. Therefore, despite the differing creative forms, the process from wheel-throwing to sculpture shares a similar vitality. He aspires to start from himself and extend outward, distilling reflections on the human mind, the human body, and even the world itself.
