Ivy MA 馬琼珠

簡介 Biography

Ivy Ma is a Hong Kong artist working in drawings, paintings, photography and mixed-media installation. Having studied fine art in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, she has held a number of solo exhibitions in Hong Kong. She was an Asian Cultural Council grantee in 2007 and she received Hong Kong Contemporary Art Awards, Young Artist Award in 2012. Her series of works 'Last Year' (2015) has become the collection of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) since 2020.

馬琼珠從事繪畫、攝影及裝置藝術。在香港和英國接受藝術教育,曾在香港舉辦多個個展。二零零八年,取得亞洲文化協會利希慎基金獎助金。二零一二年,獲香港當代藝術獎青年藝術家獎。二零一五年系列作品《去年》於二零二零年為美國三藩市現代藝術博物館所收藏。

In 2007, I held a solo exhibition at the studio of my late teacher, Mr. Jerry Kwan. I still recall that he advised me to start working on artworks with big scale and big topics, in that way my works could get better chance to be exhibited and collected by the M+ which was coming on the way. Although my works has not been collected by M+ till now, I still go on creating works of larger scale whenever the conditions allow; or else, I work on small scale and I dig deeply into the details.

Horizontally, I work across mediums and topics; while vertically, I go straight into the materials and collect my thoughts. In the process of artistic creation, there is perhaps no need to rely too heavily on theory; instead, we should trust our bodily senses and time.

I hope to tell my teacher, Jerry, that in 2015, I created a series of 40 pieces of artwork, which were comprising of photography and painting works, and they are now collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Apart from Mr. Jerry Kwan, I would also like to express my gratitude to all the teachers who had taught me.

記起在2007年,我在已故關晃老師的工作室做了個個展。那時,他說將來有M+了,叮嚀我要做大作品、大題目,才有機會被展出及收藏。雖然至今我没有被M+選中過,但我-直在做作品,一有條件時就做大的,無條件時就在細處鑽深。


橫向地去跨越媒介和涉足題材,和直向地去研習物料和理清思路;我想:創作過程中,不用把藝術太理論化,反而相信把一切交給身體與時間,就可以了。

我也想跟關晃老師說,我在2015年創作的一共40張系列作品,今年給美國三藩市現代美術館收藏了。那是一批由攝影和繪畫組成的作品。
除了關晃老師,我也要感謝教過我的老師們。

Lily, gaze
The work “Lily, gaze” (2011), the lily image was extracted from Morita Yoshimitsu’s “Sorekara” (And Then). The film-still was cropped and printed, then edited (by drawing tools).

百合花,凝望
二零一一年的《百合花,凝望》。圖象來自森田芳光的《其後》。從電影裏剪輯、打印到素描,對內容時加時減;是對靜物畫的傳統、對已有影像改編的可能性,並在素描與打印影像之間,作出的思考和實驗。 



Plane #11- #19
“Plane #11- #19” is a new work made in this year 2020. It is an abstract and formalistic work, with the emphasis upon materiality, geometrical formation and spatial arrangement.

面 #11- #19
二零二零年的新作《面 #11- #19》是純抽象及形式化的。重視物料性丶幾何造形與空間排列。
