About
Landmark proudly presents Art LANDMARK, a new art experience featuring world-renowned artist Ayako Rokkaku in collaboration with GALLERY TARGET. This exhibition showcases her largest interactive art installation to date - "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA". As a highlight of Hong Kong Art March, the Landmark Atrium will be transformed into a vibrant, sensory art experience space from now until April 17, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in this enchanting and mysterious artistic island. Inspired by the Japanese folk tale "ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku drew connections between Hong Kong and Japan's shared island geography, incorporating elements from the Japanese fairy tale "Momotaro". The installation blurs the line between dreams and reality, artist and audience. The artwork, meticulously crafted with soft forms and various textured fabrics, reaches a height of six meters and creates a museum-like interactive zone. Visitors are encouraged to touch, feel, and even lean against the artwork, weaving their own artistic journey according to personal preferences. Inside the installation, there's a unique passage displaying 12 wooden sculptures for close viewing, with 11 paintings hidden around the art installation. These carefully selected treasures are non-commercial pieces, designed purely to create a layered art exploration experience. To celebrate the official unveiling of "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku performed a fascinating finger painting demonstration on site, allowing the audience to witness her signature characters and landscapes come to life as she applied paint directly with her hands, embodying her artistic philosophy of "connecting creation through intuition".
