BA (Hons) of Arts in Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University

Born in 1996, Glary WU graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2019. Chiefly working with painting, Wu  also creates artist zines, transforming and defamiliarising the conversant things through painting and drawing. Her reality imitates theatre, highlighting the dialogue between elements and characters in the same space, with a dash of imagination here and there to accentuate the human mind through static surroundings and changing sceneries. Wu’s solo exhibitions include ‘A Sentimental Journey’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2024), ‘The Sun’ (Art Projects Gallery, Hong Kong, 2022) and ‘Flowers Speak’ (Infectment, Hong Kong, 2021), and she has participated in various local and international group exhibitions such as ‘Portrait: Infinite and Beyond Group Exhibition’ (Touch Gallery, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘New Gaze’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘Relay Relay Relay Relay’ (Wure Area, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘The Moon and The Sun’ (Arthome, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘Nothin' Like the Taste of Print’ (Hanart TZ Gallery, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘Why Print 3’ (KC100 ArtSpace, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘ Wonder-verse’ (K11, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘The Use of Useless’ (PMQ, Hong Kong, 2021),and ‘IAM international art moves 2020 - Pathfinder’ (Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin, 2020). She has created and published an illustration zine Jobless and participated in the Hong Kong and Taipei Art Book Fair in 2020 and 2021. The artist currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
