The “Legacy” exhibition at Co90 Select Shop is a celebration of the enduring influence of master potter Queenie Leung on her student, Karen Cheung. Queenie, a well-respected figure in the Hong Kong ceramics community, has dedicated over two decades to teaching pottery, shaping the skills and artistic perspectives of countless students. Her bowls are renowned for their timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship, each piece a testament to her deep understanding of form and function. This exhibition brings together 100 bowls that reflect her mastery and the legacy she imparts to her students.

Karen Cheung, a graduate of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, draws inspiration from the vanishing architectural elements of Hong Kong, such as old iron gates, window grilles, and traditional tiles. Her artist statement highlights her dedication to preserving these nostalgic details through her signature design, “Gates,” which she integrates into her functional ceramics. In this exhibition, visitors will witness how Karen has transformed the foundational techniques learned from Queenie, infusing them with her distinctive artistic vision to create pieces that are both practical and culturally significant.
