100 ft PARK is pleased to present Somewhere Over the Rainbow, solo exhibition of Stephanie Sin from 7 June to 13 July 2014.
Inspired by the double-rainbows that appeared in Hong Kong few years ago, Stephanie Sin reproduces two rainbows in 100 ft. PARK and dedicates them to the neighbourhood in Prince Edward. Sin primarily works on oil painting; this installation is an extension of her regular practice. With a simple set-up, Sin plays with positive and negative space and re-enacts the ambiguous atmosphere and void often seen in her paintings in real space. Viewers are invited to enter and encounter the space and be part of the setting. The subdued experience is direct yet could not be captured with any means of documentation. Having the feeling that painting is not easy to comprehend for every viewer, Sin makes this installation with rainbows accessible to the neighbourhood and through which she brings joy to life.
About Artist
Born in 1984, Stephanie Sin received her BA(FA) from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (co-presented with the Hong Kong Art School) in 2008 and her Master of Visual Arts from the Hong Kong Baptist University in 2013. As a painter, Sin takes influence from voids in living environments drawn from fragments of individuals to collective routine and insinuates the paradox of life in her works. In 2009, Sin founded Rental United with two artists and it serves as a cluster for collaborative experimentation, which currently focuses on installation and performances.

靈感源起於年前在香港出現的雙彩虹，冼朗兒為百呎公園帶來兩道彩虹，並獻給在太子的鄰里。冼朗兒的創作以油畫為主，而這次的裝置作品是她繪畫創作的伸延。冼朗兒以簡潔的場地佈局，營造正空間和負空間的效果，在真實空間裡呈現她畫作中常見的曖昧氣氛和模糊的空間感。觀賞者進入空間，成為作品的一部份，細膩的經驗直接但卻捕捉不到。也許繪畫並不是每位觀賞者能理解，冼朗兒希望是次彩虹裝置能讓鄰里較易接近及親身感受，把喜悅帶到生活中。
關於藝術家
冼朗兒生於1984年，在2008年取得澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學藝術文學士（與香港藝術學院合辦），並於2013年取得香港浸會大學視覺藝術碩士。作為畫家，冼朗兒的創作往往受個人的生活碎片或集體的恆常規律間的空虛及孤寂感影響，從作品暗示生命的矛盾。2009年，她與兩名藝術家成立了「夾租團」，以合作形式進行實驗創作，主要創作媒介為裝置和行為藝術表演。
