Ivy Ho Man Kei (she/her)
creative thinker
Ivy HO Man Kei (b.2001) is passionate about collecting and documenting the unconsciousness alongside spontaneous aesthetic encounters of the everyday through painting and installation. Inspired by the naive forms of children's drawings, her work curates a fragmented visual lexicon into dream-like spaces for audiences to experience and interact with.​​
​
She is currently fascinated by the ambiguity of stars and jagged rotational shapes as meditative and projective forms. Through these works, she hopes to resonate her unconscious obsessions with the world of common experience to form a connection with the viewers.
