Keep calm and drink coffee. My fourth and final piece for a group exhibition. I wanted to create quirky and colourful pieces that are playful.
A close up detail of my paper cut collage. I worked in these colours after I learned about Morandi colour palettes. They were inspired by the muted and monochromatic paintings of Giorgio Morandi.
My paper cut art of a still life with fruit. I wanted to play with patterns and color. I had to create the right balance while still keeping a minimal design. It was interesting trying to combine these elements. I spent the most time on this part and I feel that it worked out very well.
"Make Coffee Not War", a paper cut quote for a little exhibition.
This is my finished cactus paper artwork. It's been great fun creating art for this mini exhibition. More paper work to follow!
After working out my paper cut cactus draft, I move on to cutting coloured papers. I'm loving pastel and bright colours at the moment. I do find pairing colours a challenge when it's not ombre or minimal. So this was a fun learning curve.
Working on a 3D paper cut collection for a group exhibition.
“Reverie II”, video art by Hong Kong-based video artist Alvin Mak. These videos are an abstraction of the psychological void, between the conscious and sub-conscious. It explores the inner workings of the mind. The process of imagination begins with the forming of raw and incomplete fragments of ideas. The raw data is sculpted and transformed by the consciousness, grown and combined into complex ideas, or is left to dissipate into the void, to make room for the next thought. The process of mental synthesis is abstracted in the artwork.

Some quick sketches for more seashell designs to be made into paper cuttings.
Minimal, paper cut on white by Dana Shek. “Spiral” draws inspiration from seashell patterns. They are beautiful, mathematical puzzles. Dana translated these details into an organic and contemporary paper cut. The folded cuts pop up to catch the light and create shadows. The shadows shift throughout the day.

"Urban Abstractions", digital art photograph by Alvin Mak. “Urban Abstractions” progressed from the exploration of the first photographic series “Urban Impressions”. Initially, the material was drawn from street activities and daily life. This series however, takes a more graphical approach to examine the city.
We were commissioned to create customized hotel wall art for the elegant, 5 star St Regis Hotel in Chengdu, China. The interior design has a sophisticated, art deco style. As part of the client's design brief, they requested to incorporate the interior style into the artwork. We set about drafting ideas and proposed initial designs to meet this art brief. But we wanted to add something extra to make our artwork unique to this project and location.

This labour of love spanned 6 months! Wetting and curving 1000's of papers to create an ombre colour field.
The finished artwork size is 3x10metres. It is installed at the main lobby of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tainan, Taiwan.

In a snowy mountain scene, the landscape is minimal. It’s as if one is looking at a high contrast black and white photograph. I wanted to create clear resin sculptures with a focus on a subtle and abstract form. I like the idea of a large scale sculpture made of clear resin, somehow it feels light and curious.

I am inspired by the beautiful shape of gourd vases and used that as the starting point. From there I designed a pattern similar to crackle glaze found on ceramics. I thought about the still life themes found on these vases and decided to feature butterflies. With the butterfly wings folded back, they create a three dimensional element. My design is then laser cut on white paper and placed on top of a gold paper which adds a colour highlight.

I love this lush botanical scene with the beautifully painted flowers and leaves. As a homage, I carved this artwork on paper, curious to see how it would interpret.
I guide my knife along the paper like drawing with a pen. It was challenging to keep the proportions and spacing accurate. I didn't sketch it out beforehand because rubbing away at the pencil ruins the carved lines. That's something I need to figure out how to do later on.
The result is good though but I think I can improve on my cutting technique. This art on white has a totally different feel to the original painting. What do you think?

These resin-made sculptures can be custom made to size and colour. As these have a paint finish, we can work from a Pantone colour code. This ensures an artwork that is specific to your interior design project.
Having access to a full-colour library opens up many possibilities. A colourful sculpture can be hip and fresh when it is bright yellow. Or the same sculpture in white can feel minimal and zen. Sculptures, art objects and artwork can define a space. These sculptures can be a range of colours and sizes. From small to fit on consoles and desks. As well a freestanding, large-scale sculpture in a hotel lobby or office space. Depending on your requirements, we can propose suitable artwork for your art project. “Loop” refers to the aesthetics as much as the iterative thought process. Each abstract sculpture evolves into its final form. Imagine a loop forming but then you erase, re-draw and then change it again. A shape of rock may form in the mind. It then melts into a ring of smoke, a bubble ring underwater, or even a ring of mercury floating in mid-air. The sculptural form will twist and swirl while it sails through space. This results in an organic shape that varies along the length and flows into itself.
Alvin continues to explore the loop in different shapes and forms. It is an ongoing series that has evolved since the start. This collection is also available in stainless steel. A material that is suitable for outdoor sculpture display.

I created several ink paintings of brush strokes and hand drawn textures. These were then digitally composed and re-coloured into a contemporary ink work.

This #paperwork is the largest I have cut. It is H180 x W350cm, I had to split this into 4 panels so that I could physically reach the surface to cut. This labour of love spanned 6 months. It is installed at the MGM Macau.
I have an impression of a phoenix garden which gradually takes shape and form as I start to cut paper. The act of paper cutting, for me, has a meditative quality so my way of working tends to be organic. I'll have an idea for the overall composition but each cut is decided at that precise moment. For the final touch, I added paper feathers to create more depth and shadow in the overall artwork. Paper seems to be a very basic material but it is incredibly versatile which is why I love to use it for my paper work.

Working on a new art commission for a hotel in Macau. The client wanted feathers and wings. So I cut various shapes to create a draft design.
I also have my new blade handle from @ergokiwi which I'm trying out.

After photographing the ocean for years, I got curious to capture a physical piece of the water to put indoors. I sketched and photographed the waves, then translated the image into a 3D computer model. The 3D data is then machined and replicated into a mirror finished stainless steel wall sculpture.
Alvin has observed the Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong through photography and video art for more than a decade. In the pursuit to further express the mesmerising and meditative qualities of the harbours currents and movements, Alvin sought to capture the fluid movement in 3-dimensional forms. The sculptural surface is polished to a mirror finish which reflects it's surroundings. As the viewer observes the artwork from one angle to the next, the surface changes like water ripple movement. This gives the wall sculpture an interactive quality.

The development of Victoria Dreaming is an ongoing visual exploration of urban Hong Kong that began in 2002. It was a study of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong; its waves, reflection and interaction with the environment. The harbour was explored at numerous locations along the coast, and under various lighting and weather conditions.
The imagery was formless as the shifting water bends the light. Some of the captures were done at slow speed or panned to let the light paint the photo. Images were also presented as multi-panel sets of abstract photography to express the emotion of each scene. Victoria Harbour has gone through a physical change since our initial photographic observations in 2002. The harbour has changed shape and size from land reclamation projects.

This series progressed from the exploration of the first photographic series “Urban Impressions”. Initially, the material was drawn from street activities and daily life. “Urban Abstractions" take a more graphical approach to examine the city.
Every place has a unique brand of look and feel. A few tell-tale details often trigger the memory of the larger context. Hong Kong is a special place that contains a concentrated blend of structures from various eras. I am thrilled to see the wide variety of elements. The diversity allows great freedom to tune the tones, texture and composition.

This art object draws a line across three dimensional space. It swings across space, twists and folds onto itself. The end eventually meets the beginning of the line and completes the circle. It results in an organic shape that warms up any interior. The sculptures can be made of fiberglass and stainless steel.

Following the previous post, I used my drawing to develop this paper cut artwork. It's my first time exploring paper cutting and I am excited to see where this new technique takes me.
This paper cut art features leaves and wasps, I folded up some of these details to create a 3D aspect. Giving the art more depth. I also placed the artwork in front of a mirror, gold card which shows through the cut out parts. This adds gold highlights and the reflective card also picks up the colours in the interior.

The shape and designs of Chinese antique vases are the source of inspiration for this drawing. This is my contemporary, botanical themed design with a traditional vase silhouette. This sketch will be developed into a paper cut artwork.

This contemporary artwork is created from original paintings, hand-drawn textures and ink marks which are composed in an abstract ink painting style. I use traditional techniques used in paintings such as dry brush and wet on wet as well as modern forms of mark making.

Every place has a unique brand of look and feel. A few tell-tale details often trigger the memory of the larger context. Hong Kong is a special place that contains a concentrated blend of structures from various eras. I am thrilled to see the wide variety of elements. The diversity allows great freedom to tune the tones, texture and composition.

We took architectural photographs of the St Regis Hotel building and composed them to create graphical, art deco-inspired designs in bronze tones. We also used art deco details to make abstract fine art prints in gold and bronze colours. Alvin’s series of tailor-made fine ar prints features throughout all the hotel guestrooms and suites.

From a photographic still life study of flowers, the chrysanthemum was chosen for its subtle beauty and rich, dense petal layers. I wanted to create a large scale, oversized floral artwork which would allow the viewer to examine the flower in parts. My photograph is combined with hand made drawings and found textures which are then digitally composed.

Stellar is a luminous exploration with photographic composite. This artwork is reimagined from a scene of fireworks. Abstract photographs of fireworks are layered together to re-compose the richness of the fireworks.

This artwork is inspired by a winter visit to Tokyo. We visited the famous rock garden at the Ryoanji Temple where the gardens were covered in a blanket of snow. It was also snowing at the time and the tree branches were coated in white. I wanted to convey that sense of stillness and the quiet, calm as we all watched the scenery unfold like an animated painting.

This artwork contains 1000's of images of Chinese ceramics layered to create a patterned background. In the foreground are birdcages and koi fish. I wanted to create a surreal, dreamlike scene with a contemporary, Asian twist.
