In Fatina Kong's works, the reality of the landscape is hidden under its visual appearance. Her seemingly realist painting is not a copy of scenery as a photograph, but is the viewer’s emotional attachment to a place. Using colours as the language of expressing her emotions, she immerses her sentiment into the landscape of Hong Kong. The round shape of her artwork symbolises the cycle of nature. The blooming and falling of flowers implies that time never waits for anything. The disappeared landscape will live forever in everyone's memory through her artworks. Time Comes in Different Colours belongs to the impermanence and eternity of Hong Kong as our home.
The everyday scenery of Hong Kong landscape is the most intimate subject to the artist. Coastal lines in mist reflect the colours of different seasons. Braiding with layers of minerals, ink and resin, her works construct her landscape of emotional memories. The artist’s exposure to art is not limited to visual paintings, but also to Chinese and world literature, as the title of artworks in this show are all named after poems, including Shakespeare's Sonnets, Liu Yong’s Butterfly in Love with Flowers, and so on.
