2021 師友藝術計劃 | 2021 YOUTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

HKWALLS hosts its first mentorship program, offering young artists the chance to learn from artists that have participated in our festivals. Artists are able to hone their skills and develop their creative ideas under the guidance of their mentors. Our selected mentees, as shown below, will also showcase their works as part of the upcoming festival.

香港牆體藝術節（HKWALLS）舉辦首屆導師計劃，為年輕藝術家提供向曾參與過我們藝術節的藝術家學習的機會。藝術家們可以在導師的指導下磨練技藝，並發展創意。如下所示，我們選出的學員也將在即將到來的藝術節上展示他們的作品。

GWEN COCO WITH PETER YUILL

Gwen Coco (Gwyneth Soriano) is a Hong Kong-based illustrator, designer and cartoonist whose art has contributed to books, clothing and marketing visuals, whether for smaller companies or for larger studio. She also creates fun and heartwarming pencil and ink comic strips and doodles on the side to showcase her ability to tell stories. When she’s not drawing, you’ll find her cooking up a jazzy taco skillet, killing reps in the gym or playing guitar after a long day.

Gwen Coco (Gwyneth Soriano) 是一位香港插畫家、設計師和漫畫家，她的作品包括書籍插圖、服裝和為中小企業提供營銷視覺效果。她令人理解的漫畫和塗鴉溫暖了許多人的心，在大多數情況下，可能會引起一兩個傻笑。通過她的鉛筆和墨水作品，格溫將每一件藝術品都變成了大膽的敘事。當她不畫畫時，她可能會在墨西哥弄玉米捲，她可能在健身房裡或在漫長的一天後彈吉他。

LUNA WONG WITH ZOIE LAM

Luna graduated from the Hong Kong Baptist University in Visual Art, and seeks to explore the relationship between life and the universe through her work. Since she was young, Luna has been fascinated with insects, often creating unique characters based off her interest: “My work has a lot to do with my fascination of the new species’, I guess you can say it is my way of finding the meaning of life.”

Luna Wong 畢業自香港浸會大學視覺藝術學院，致力在作品中探索生命與宇宙之間的關係。Luna自小就對昆蟲著迷，經常創作出獨特新穎的角色，她說：「我的作品與我對新事物的迷戀有很大關係，可以講這是我尋求生命意義的方式」
