Carrie Chau - the black sheep collection
Carrie Chau, an illustration artist in Hong Kong, just finished her “Black Sheep Exhibition” at Hong Kong Times Square in the Causeway Bay.
Starting as an illustration artist, Carrie’s art work is full of decorative elements and details. The characters in her art creation are somehow colourful, childlike and similar to the characters on stage or in a circus. The characters maybe some metaphors to ourselves, i.e. there are always abnormal and yet pretty elements in ourselves.
In a radio programme just rolled out today, Carrie talked about art: “the teaching of art, i.e. the true, kind and beauty (”真善美” in Chinese) is important, since those are the senses of true, kind and beauty which could improve the world.” This is the objective of Carrie’s art work, and this is the objection of her lovely characters.
Some photos from the Black Sheep Exhibition:
Carrie’s latest exhibition just ended in mid September 07, “the Black Sheep”, was very well received.
There are some accessories and products from Carrie now being sold in various retail shops in Hong Kong. And Carrie has opened her own shop in Central of Hong Kong, I do love visiting her shop and saying hello to her lovely characters.
If you like Carrie’s work, you may check her out at her blog: Carrie Chau’s Blog.

Amazing. I love the artwork. It’s surreal and moving to me.
Those are some pretty cutesy pics! I like the black and white sheep.
