Harris Wong (b. 1998) believes that humour is the salient element in his art practices. He desires to construct an absurd world by recreating articles of daily life in strange and goody forms, exploring the integration of abstraction and figuration. Inspired by absurdism, Wong observes matters of indifference and intends to transform that meaninglessness into something engrossing yet rebellious. Distorted and goofy hybrid creatures are frequently depicted in his practices as his motifs. Wong has concentrated on ceramics and printmaking. Transferring printed images on clay-based potteries and moulded clay, he is obsessed with exploring the relationship between the two mediums, bridging different dimensions through screen printing mono-print and ceramic sculpture-making.
