蛙王(郭孟浩)
蛙王(郭孟浩)(生於1947年)是香港最具代表性和活力的藝術家之一,是先鋒概念和行為藝術家,自60年代末以來便一直突破香港及其他地區的界限。蛙王早年隨新派水墨畫大師呂壽琨研習水墨畫及書法,是中國當代藝術家中,最早探索使用水墨為工具來表達概念的藝術家之一,將水墨用行為、或作為物料的方式,融入多媒體裝置及表演藝術之中。蛙王將東西方哲學、宗教和概念以獨特方式融合,從他的作品中,可見傳統研習成果中混雜多方位元素,為其當代作品帶來嶄新視野。
受到周遭環境的啟發,蛙王的創作和表演不受藝術形式約束,觀眾、藝術家、藝術作品與日常生活融為一體。蛙王秉持「藝術是生命,生命是藝術」的哲學,所有東西都可作為創作原材料:人物對話、餐牌、照片、事件、香港各區,以至無盡在翻譯中流失含意的喜劇習語。他於面向皇后大道的圍牆建起的一道塗鴉墻,融合特色圖像元素和獨創的「三文治字體」(中英文字體混雜交融),遊走在戲仿和諷刺之間。「愛、融和、歡喜」、「愛、如意、興隆」等字詞佈滿牆上,與蛙王帶著微笑青蛙標誌並列,創造出充滿活力、獨特性、豐富多彩的典型蛙王作品。
蛙王在「塗鴉牆」上的大小生活照,將藝術家與行人連繫-藝術家和觀眾與蛙王並肩站立,巧妙地將行人畫進他的互動「蛙托邦」。他是一個將人和文化連繫起來的大師,,通過率性與幽默連接不同的文化。
自 1967 起,蛙王已在全球超過3,000個藝術活動上展覽自己的作品及表演,包括他在第五十四屆威尼斯雙年展香港館展出項目。2015年12月,香港視覺文化博物館M +邀請蛙王於長城重塑其於1979年的「膠袋項目」,此項目被認為是首項出現在中國的行為藝術作品。蛙王榮獲不少國際獎項,他的作品廣受博物館、基金會及私人收藏家收藏,他的每件作品均體現出在其概念構建下的烏托邦。

Frog King (a.k.a Kwok Mang-ho)
One of Hong Kong'S most iconic and dynamic artists, Frog King (a.k.a Kwok Mang-ho, b.1947) is a pioneering conceptual and performance artist who has been breaking boundaries in Hong Kong and beyond since the late 1960s. Originally trained in ink painting and calligraphy in the studio of New Ink Painting master Lui Shou Kwan, he is one of the earliest Chinese contemporary artists to explore the use of ink painting as a conceptual tool, incorporating it as both action and material into multiple-media installations and performances. Frog King'S unique blend of Eastern and Western philosophies, religions and concepts result in a multi-dimensional hybridity that is steeped in traditional training, whilst bringing a new and fresh outlook to his contemporary output.
Inspired by the world around him, Frog King'S creations and performances are not bound by artistic formalities; the audience, artist, artwork and daily life are one. Through the philosophy of "Art is Life. Life is Art", Frog King uses everything as source material: conversations, restaurant menus, photographs, events, Hong Kong'S districts and the endless comedic idioms that become lost in translation. His "Graffiti Wall" on Queen's Road Central uses a variety of his distinctive iconographical elements and his signature "sandwich font" that switches back and forth between English and Chinese in clever ensembles that alternate between irony and parody. The words "Love, Harmony, Happiness" and "Love, Sense, Prosperity" jump out of the wall, juxtaposed with Frog King'S smiling Frog logos, creating a vibrant, unique, colourful and quintessentially Frog King space. Life-size and larger-than-life photos of Frog King on the "Graffiti Wall" connect the artist with pedestrians on the pavement - the artist and the audience stand side-by-side with Frog King, cleverly drawing in passersby to his interactive Frogtopian world. He is a master of connecting people and cultures through the thread of levity and joyful explosions of laughter.
Since 1967, Frog King'S art and performances have been presented at over 3000 exhibitions and art events worldwide, including for his project for the Hong Kong Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. In December 2015, Hong Kong'S M+ Museum for Live Art invited Frog King to recreate his 1979 "Plastic Bag Project" from the Great Wall, considered as the first ever piece of performance art in China. He has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors internationally and his work is collected by museums, foundations and private collectors globally, each of his works embodying his conceptual utopia.
