TAO HOI CHUEN, JACKY AND HO HON LUN, JASON - THE HARI ART PRIZE 2023 RUNNERS UP


The two runners up were awarded to Tao Hoi Chuen, Jacky and Ho Hon Lun, Jason with the artworks “Parking lot” and “Dreamrooms” respectively. “Parking lot” was done at the height of the epidemic. It reveals the transformation of human life as a result of the epidemic. “Dreamrooms” is an enthralling and enigmatic artwork that interweaves the realms of surrealism and abstractism. Each portal invites the viewer into diverse, interconnected worlds, just like travel, embodying an inherent interconnectedness that permeates the artwork. Jacky and Jason will become the next “The Hari’s Artists in Residence”, followed by an exhibition of their work in the hotel’s public spaces for 3 months.
