公司簡介
With a childhood divided between Hong Kong and Canada, Pucky grew up between two cultures, which prompted her to explore creatively the value of identity and the meaning of belonging. After graduation from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver in 2008, she returned to Hong Kong, where she works as a freelance artist and illustrator. Pucky’s work is a combination of cute and dark, showing an integrated harmony where opposites like good and evil or love and fear, co-exist. She is deeply inspired by the wonders and mysteries of the world and her drawings are strongly affected by the beauty of their history, science and the romance. She draws to communicate these feelings in her own visual language.
The concept of “Art Toys” originated from Hong Kong, which allowed Pucky to experience the world of Art Toys first hand. Under the mentorship of Kenny Wong (Molly’s creator), she began to experiment and learn about creating 3D works. Through that, Pucky can not only just through 2D painted works, she can also express her spiritual, humanistic through creating 3D works like sculptures and toys.
Starting from 2014, apart from purely creating works, she also started attending many different Toy Shows around the world including Taiwan’s TTF, Shanghai’s BTS, Thailands, TTE, Japan’s Wonderfest, Hong Kong’s Toysoul. It’s been an incredible journey for Pucky from being an artist that hardly anyone knew able to needing to line up in order to purchase her toys.
One of Pucky’s most memorable moments after stepping into the Art Toy world is about a toy selling and signing event that happened in Beijing a few years ago. Due to the difficulty of actually purchasing the toy, many fans lined up overnight in frigid Beijing winter temperatures, resulting in over 3000 people being lined up by the time the sale event started. But due to the overcrowding of people, the signing event had to be cancelled.
