Pat Pat by Claudia Chanhoi


  • 宀 Gallery 279 Des Voeux Road Central Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island Hong Kong (map)

Pat Pat, Claudia’s seventh solo-exhibition, takes its name from an artwork in the ‘Hong Kong’ series. The collection comically illustrates Cantonese slag and innuendos. Each piece is accompanied by a caption offering insight into the connotation and cultural nuances. These works were made as an homage to the city and its way of life during a time of social uncertainty.

The artist graduated from London College of Communication in 2013 where she was already strongly focused on the sexual objectification of women. After working as a designer, she returned to her personal practice through her Instagram account. Quickly, the social media platform censored her works showing female body parts even though the style was far from explicit. She then played with the boundaries of the censorship algorithm, adding flying birds or skyscapes into the images, finding these details would keep the post from being deleted.
