Hong Wai 洪慧: One Life One Dream series - Mystery (蕾絲書法 - 巴黎一字一生系列 - 迷)

Hong Wai (b. 1982, Shanghai) is a celebrated contemporary artist based in Paris, renowned for synthesizing Eastern ink tradition, Western aesthetics, and technological innovation. Rooted in nearly thirty years of practice, her work uniquely recontextualizes Chinese ink painting through a feminine, transnational lens. Hong Wai is the creator of "Lace Calligraphy," an innovative technique that fuses Western lace and Eastern calligraphy into sculptural textiles to explore themes of intimacy, gender, and the immigrant experience.

Her academic background includes a Master’s from the EHESS, Paris, focusing on the contemporary expression of Chinese Literati Art. A pioneer in the Art and AI space, she successfully trained the robot Sophia in her signature aesthetic for a series of authenticated digital co-creations. Her works, which include the acclaimed Secret de Boudoir series (leading to a collaboration with Aubade lingerie), have been exhibited globally at venues such as Sotheby’s Gallery Hong Kong, the Museu do Oriente in Lisbon, major international art fairs and the solo exhibition, "No Way To Be Good (沒有辦法做乖乖)," curated by Luke Chapman.
