KAN KIU SIN TOBE
簡喬倩

KAN was born in Hong Kong, she currently lives and works in Hong Kong. She obtained her Bachelor (Fine Art) degree co-presented by RMIT University and Hong Kong Art School in 2017. In recent years, KAN likes to observe various vegetation that coexist with humans in daily life by walking around. Her current practice investigates the boundaries between life and death, examines the condition of insecurity in relation to feelings of alienation or being forgotten, or about “existence” and “distance”, and intends to reveal the uncanny and mysterious feelings of hovering between asleep and awake, dream and reality. ​She experiments with painting, drawing and installation. Her artworks are held in numerous private collections.

簡氏出生於香港，現於香港生活和工作，2017年畢業於澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學/香港藝術學院藝術系。簡氏近年喜愛散步觀察日常生活與人共存的各種植物，透過作品探索生死的界線，關注各種與異化或被遺忘有關的狀況、或關於「存在」與「距離」，並意圖呈現游離在半睡半醒和夢境與現實之間的微妙與神秘感覺。創作包括繪畫和裝置。​作品為私人收藏。
