朱樂庭 Natalie CHU Lok Ting

Lives and works in Hong Kong.

 

As the artist noted in a recent interview, ‘The inexorable passage of time and the succession of generations remain forces beyond human control.’ Natalie transmutes historical traces into works that prioritise cultural context and emotional resonance. She describes her research-based methodology as “quasi‐archaeology,” mirroring traditional field practices while breathing life into history through artistic interventions. By integrating found objects, relics, archival records, texts, and antiquities into her installations, sculptures, and ink works, she interweaves and juxtaposes materials from different times, developing a palimpsest that prompts viewers to reflect on historical transitions while probing the tension between memory and oblivion.

Natalie obtained her BA in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2022. Her work has been featured in several group exhibitions across Hong Kong, including Memory Smuggler 九仞 (To Art House, 2025), Hardworking Aesthetics (Art Central, 2024), and By the People: Creative Chinese Character (Hong Kong Museum of Art, 2023). She is the recipient of the HART Award (2022).
