The 22nd edition of the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduate Exhibition is the culmination of the studies of our 38 graduating students. Following the theme of ‘inverse’ (逆), these emerging artists present the fruits of their learning journey in a diversity of art forms, including painting, ceramics, photography, installation and video, which all carry their pursuit of and belief in the art-making process.

‘inverse’ (逆) means to challenge as well to embrace. Much like in the face of the unforgiving natural order of things, we all strive to overcome the adversities in life with art bearing witness, which our graduating students in turn present to the public in different forms.

第二十一屆藝術文學士畢業展以「酵種」為主題，將展出三十五位應屆畢業生在主修媒介上的研習成果。畢業生透過一系列繪畫、素描、陶瓷、雕刻、裝置及影片等多媒體藝術，訴說對藝術的理解及追求。

「酵種」（Culturing），取其意發酵、培種。「酵種」的出現，不是始，亦不是終，是一個過程，一個進化、演變和蛻變。「酵種」亦代表了一眾同學，在充斥細菌的環境底下，帶著對藝術的一點執著，一點相信，甚或一點不甘心，與其一起發酵；而那看著毫不起眼的酵種，如微細的種子，隱藏著意想不到的可能性。

‘Culturing’ borrows the meaning from the laboratory technique of growing microorganisms in a particular condition for research and development purposes. Culturing appears not at the beginning nor the end, but define the process, evolution, transformation and metamorphosis. As such, culturing also represents the graduating students who have grown and cultivated their art practices throughout the pandemic years.

This year’s Graduate Exhibition of the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) programme* is the culmination of the studies of 35 graduating students. Presenting in a diversity of art forms, which include painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, installation and video, the works represent the collective call of the graduating students in their understanding and pursuit of art.

Like the act of culturing, the Graduate Exhibition is neither the beginning nor the end; it is the process of evolution and creation of the graduating students, who will continue their art making with the cultivated mind, passion and belief in the future.

Hong Kong Art School and RMIT University are pleased to co-present the Master of Fine Art Graduate Exhibition 2018 in this September. Entitled as “Peeling the Onion”, the exhibition showcases the artworks of 10 graduates from the MFA programme.

Why “Peeling the Onion” ? Onions are bitter-sweet when raw and they are a vital ingredient in the creation of many dishes, the act of preparing them can cause a few tears. This is an appropriate metaphor for our graduates’ various experiences of the two-year MFA programme, referencing the emotional journeys and the artistic processes undertaken by them.  Through this exhibition, our graduates peel back the layers of their own unique artistic practices - based in ceramics, photography, painting, performance and more - to try to uncover some essential understanding about their artworks, showing their attitudes and approaches as visual artists.

This Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Programme is co-presented by the RMIT University and the Hong Kong Art School, and the Graduation Exhibition “Sometimes Irrelevant” features art works of 40 graduating students this year. Through different mediums such as painting, photography and mixed media, they did not only embody their thoughts and feelings in their works, but also acquired a deeper understanding of the world and themselves.

Artwork is an examination of life. Artists consider trivial things in life as important inspirations and they can hardly be insensible or unsympathetic in this regard. With keen sensitivity and unique skills, they integrate the neutral scenarios of life into their perception and attitude towards the society in order to unite emotion experience and logical cognition. In the law, although ‘Obiter dictum’ is not essential to the decision, the implied opinions are crucial in making subsequent judgments. Other judges may later take it as a reference for decision-making, thus it is still a convincing judgment. It is as if artists retrospect minor things in life, and create artworks that emotionally connect them with their viewers.

The exhibited works are the graduates’ profound rational and emotional reflection of daily surroundings. We are honoured to invite audience to experience their pursuit of art creation, the pure love of reflecting life by art, as well as to discover and unveil the ‘sometimes irrelevant’ beauties in life.

Entitled “Beyond the Journey”, the RMIT Master of Fine Art Graduation Exhibition HK 2017 presents a suite of works by eleven artists from the 2016 /17 RMIT Master of Fine Art program. During their two years of study, these practitioners have shared a commonality of exploration bringing to the fore their life experiences and their distinctive modes of expression. As a result, the exhibition reveals diversity in creativity and aesthetic experiences, expressed through painting, photography, video, sculpture and installation. These works are born from the joy and demands of art making. They are produced and arranged to facilitate personal interpretation and rumination on our place in the scheme of things.　

The Opening Ceremony of this exhibition will be held in the evening of 8 September (Fri). The ceremony will be officiated by the Guests of Honor, including:

Ms. Catherine Maudsley
Council Member, Hong Kong Art School

The Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) (BAFA) Graduation Exhibition, organized and co-presented by RMIT University and Hong Kong Art School, brings together the works from more than 40 graduating students of the BAFA programme, encompassing creative media of Ceramics, Painting, Photography, Sculpture and Multimedia installation art.

The theme of the exhibition, “Reverie”, describes the transient detachment of the students’ mind from reality, which opens up themselves to unlimited thoughts. When ideas can transverse freely through their minds, thoughts will no longer be bounded by presumed restrictions, leading to an array of ideas and emotions being incorporated into the artworks.

A guided tour and a sharing hosted by the BAFA alumni, which relates the Graduation Exhibition to the ongoing art journey of an art graduate, will be held alongside the exhibition. All are welcome to join.

Upon the announcement of The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University in partnership with Hong Kong Art School (HKAS), the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) class of 2016 opened their graduation exhibition with a reception on the evening of 23 January 2016, marking the 18th year of the programme. The exhibition took place at the Hong Kong Arts Centre, recognised as a local arts incubator, in Wan Chai and held in the prestigious Pao Galleries, a gallery space known for housing world-class art events. It showcased 46 graduating artists' work, which was the culmination of over a year of research, planning and execution.

The student's fine art education had taken place during a dynamic period for Hong Kong and indeed the world. Capturing the spirit of the current age, the exhibition title, INCITE - a word often used to describe rebellion or movement into action – reflected the distinct energy they had harnessed into their work over the past three years of the programme. The exhibition incorporated new perspectives, it questioned the status quo and it showcased the pursuit of new ways of thinking, seeing and doing through artistic expression. The collective work was meant to stir up emotion and to provoke the viewer into finding deeper meaning beyond aesthetics through their contemporary interpretations as the new generation of Hong Kong artists.

Inspired by rigorous, multidisciplinary training, the class presented work across three major media: ceramics, painting and photography. Each piece on display was a reflection of the knowledge gained through the research and practice-based learning provided at RMIT and HKAS. Dr Edwin Lai, HKAS Programme Coordinator and esteemed curator, noted: "I eagerly look forward to seeing this exhibition; there are so many students of great potential in this cohort."

Celebrating its 18th anniversary, the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) program is truly a unique cross-cultural offering, attracting local and international students from all walks of life, each with a distinct perspective and voice. HKAS and RMIT's collaborative programme offers aspiring Hong Kong artists and creatives the ability to receive an internationally recognised Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) degree from a top-tier university.

The exhibition was made possible through generous support from the headlining sponsor, Burger Collection Hong Kong, with additional backing from major sponsors including Aesop, Asia One Integrated Communications Services, Celebrity Cruises, Hanart TZ Gallery, Nikon, Spring Workshop, from contributing sponsors, Alison Pickett Corporate Art & Sculpture Consultants and Jebsen Co. Ltd., from beverage sponsor Hong Kong Beer Co. and from paper sponsor Polytrade Paper Co. Ltd.
