Sim Shum Kwan Yi 沈君怡
(b. 1995, Hong Kong)
Based in Hong Kong, Shum Kwan Yi, Sim attained her Master of Philosophy and Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts at The Hong Kong Baptist University. During those years, she spent a semester studying at Nagoya Zokei University of Art & Design, Japan, through a university exchange programme.
Shum specialises in ink art. Her practice reinterprets traditional Chinese landscape painting through a contemporary lens to bridge its symbols with everyday life. Her work transforms landscape motifs into a language of metaphor, weaving personal and collective narratives into the context of modern society, seeking the enduring relevance of landscape in today’s world.
沈君怡畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術系,獲文學碩士(MPhil)及文學士(BA)學位,並曾於日本名古屋造形藝術設計大學交流。
現居香港,她專注水墨創作,重新詮釋傳統山水,以當代視角拉近其與日常生活間的聯繫。她的作品將山水符號轉化為象徵語言,融入個人與集體的當代社會敘事,探索山水在當今社會下的意義與價值。
