Flowers, celestial bodies and otherworldly landscapes may seem far removed from reality, yet each canvas conceals traces and symbols left behind by lived experience. These subtle hints keep her garden of the mind from becoming entirely severed from the world. She gathers fragments from the dust of the everyday and replants them within the garden of the spirit. Her paintings read as a record of the life and cultivation of this inner garden.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">I-Chun Chen, long engaged with images, animation, digital media and AI-generated work, turns here toward something more elemental: the direct and raw gesture of hand painting. Her newly conceived series, <em>Weightless Playlist<\/em>, transforms a journey through Egypt\u2014the windblown sand, speed, strange sounds, skin and organs\u2014into sound waves, bodily movements and algorithmic paths, before translating them once again into painting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">For this body of work, Chen turns away from technological polish and toward an experience that is fractured, luminous, unruly and, in the same breath, joyful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">Stillness, in Fok Wai Chung\u2019s hands, holds its own vitality. Motion, in Chen\u2019s, carries an unguarded candour. Fok Wai Chung\u2019s classicism is not nostalgia, but a belief in transforming a longing for beauty in the present. Chen\u2019s engagement with the contemporary and the technological affirms, in turn, the value of embodied experience in human art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">Two sensibilities, disparate in temperament and form, meet through collision and response, generating a new resonance without erasing their differences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><em>Grooving &amp; Resonance<\/em> is not an exhibition in search of synchrony. It is the resonance that arises when two distinct lives collide, respond to one another and generate something new.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;

Some people screamed, while others laughed wildly. As someone with a more introverted temperament, I barely made a sound, yet internally I continued responding to everything before me.

At the time, I was sitting inside a jeep travelling at high speed. Amid the intense shaking and movement, I felt myself enclosed within a mechanical space. The vast desert and the small vehicle formed a powerful contrast, while the human body existed within this tiny mechanical environment, with the blood seemingly flowing rapidly through an enclosed vessel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">The jeep sped, descended and skidded across the tops of the dunes, producing an intense sensation of weightlessness. The body was thrown into space, as if the soul had been separated from the body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">The tracks left by the wheels in the sand resemble blood vessels and pulses within the human body, extending outward and vibrating continuously. The lines and flowing forms in the work come from my sensations of speed, pressure, excitement and weightlessness.

It was a brief scene, yet it became one of the most vivid memories of the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">Watching the scarf constantly change shape also brought back my past experience of studying 3D animation. In a virtual space, the movement of wind and fabric must be constructed through physical simulations involving fluid dynamics, gravity and collision.

Deities, murals and histories from thousands of years ago intersected with my everyday experience of using AI to generate images, producing a sense of temporal and spiritual dislocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1.2em;\">This dislocation also entered the method of painting. When drawing in Photoshop, digital brushes can imitate oil paint. In AI-generated images, objects often appear blurred, misaligned or physically inaccurate, as if the pixels themselves were drifting apart. In the actual oil paintings, I therefore reversed the process, using paint to imitate these digital brushstrokes and the inaccuracies of AI-generated imagery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Computers once simulated painting. Now painting has turned back to simulate AI. Ancient myths, actual history and generated images overlap with one another.
