Chill out in the sun 陽光胖侶

Rosanna Li is internationally celebrated for her iconic, robust ceramic human figures. Hand-molded with a highly tactile quality, each individual sculpture is a masterclass in volume, character, and expressive posture. Rather than conforming to rigid contemporary beauty standards, Li’s pleasantly plump figurines embrace their generous forms with an infectious, lighthearted grace.

Each standalone figure represents a deep reflection of Li’s keen observation and sensitivity to the people and events in the community. Captured in candid, mundane moments—whether relaxing, lost in thought, or looking upward with a gentle smile—these whimsical characters are filled with the artist's signature wit and humor.

香港著名陶藝家李慧嫻以其標誌性、形體豐腴且生動傳神的「小人物」陶偶作品聞名海內外。這些由藝術家親手捏製、線條圓潤飽滿的獨立人像雕塑，打破了主流單一的審美框架，以粗獷而富有溫度的炻器與陶土，賦予泥土一種渾然天成、充滿靈動與自足的生命力。

每一個獨立陶偶，都是李慧嫻對社會中人和事的敏銳觀察與觸覺之結晶。作品處處表現出作者的睿智與幽默，她將都市百姓的日常百態——如安然閒坐、托腮沉思或微微仰望等日常定格，轉化為溫暖而深刻的泥塑語言，精準捕捉了平凡生活中的樂天知命與生命韌性。

李慧嫻，生於香港。80年代於香港及英國修讀陶藝及美術與設計教育。1990-2016年間任教於香港理工大學設計學院。 她為香港當代陶藝協會和香港美術教育協會創會會員兼榮譽顧問。自1983年起先後在香港、內地及海外舉辦了20次個展及參與超過200次聯展。她的作品為香港藝術館、香港文化博物館、廣東美術館、廣東石灣陶瓷博物館、浙江美術館、台灣新北市立鶯歌陶瓷博物館及私人等收藏。她的公共藝術項目可見於香港國際機場、港鐵油塘站及灣仔利東街等。2020年獲香港藝術發展局第十四屆「香港藝術家年獎（視覺藝術）」及2025獲「藝術新潮」頒發「龍泉望甄 - 陶溪川」駐村藝家獎。目前她有兩組作品於香港藝術館《圓夢前行：香港藝術館二三事》展覽中陳列，展期至2026.7.14。

她的陶偶作品滲透着一種質樸的魅力，充滿喜悅和活力，更處處表現作者的睿智與幽默，讓人可從中窺探她對社會中人和事的敏銳觀察和觸覺。
