在喧囂的都市生活中，韓國藝術家NOVO帶來一場關於純真與希望的藝術盛宴。《More Bounce, More Hope》不僅是一場展覽，更是一次重拾初心的邀約。NOVO以其獨特的視角，將童年記憶中的紙飛機、籃球等平凡物件，轉化為充滿生命力的藝術語言。透過簡潔線條與鮮明色彩，他巧妙捕捉那些稍縱即逝的快樂瞬間，讓觀眾在作品中看見自己的童年倒影。7月2日至31日於大館Touch Gallery，讓我們跟隨NOVO的創作軌跡，重溫那些單純卻強大的快樂，在藝術中找到繼續前進的勇氣與希望。

In the hustle and bustle of urban life, Korean artist NOVO presents an artistic feast of innocence and hope. “More Bounce, More Hope” is not just an exhibition, but an invitation to rediscover life’s simple joys. With his unique perspective, NOVO transforms childhood memories of paper airplanes, basketballs and other ordinary objects into vibrant artistic expressions. Through clean lines and vivid colors, he skillfully captures those fleeting moments of happiness, allowing viewers to see reflections of their own childhood in his works. From July 2nd to 31st at Tai Kwun’s Touch Gallery, let us follow NOVO’s creative journey – revisiting those simple yet powerful joys, and finding in art the courage and hope to move forward.

Why it matters

在這個充滿複雜性的世界裡，NOVO的藝術提醒我們從日常中發現純粹而閃耀的快樂。展覽《More Bounce, More Hope》邀請觀眾重拾童年那份無拘無束的喜悅——那時一顆彈跳的球就能帶來無盡歡笑。透過鮮明的色彩、玩味的造型，以及懷舊與當代能量的完美融合，NOVO的作品跨越文化界限，呈現出樂觀的普世語言。在香港快節奏的都市景觀中，這個展覽提供了一個冥想停頓的空間，引導觀眾反思自身希望與韌性的來源。

In this world of complexity, NOVO’s art reminds us to discover pure, radiant joy in the everyday. The exhibition More Bounce, More Hope invites viewers to reclaim the unfettered delight of childhood—when a single bouncing ball could spark endless laughter. Through vivid colors, playful forms, and a seamless fusion of nostalgia and contemporary energy, NOVO’s works transcend cultural boundaries, offering a universal language of optimism. In Hong Kong’s fast-paced urban landscape, this exhibition creates a meditative pause, guiding audiences to reflect on their own sources of hope and resilience.

Background: NOVO

• 1982年出生於首爾的NOVO，擅長將平凡物件轉化為非凡的視覺敘事而備受推崇。他的創作跨越繪畫、沉浸式裝置、行為藝術甚至刺青設計，始終貫徹無限創造力的哲學理念。
• Born in Seoul in 1982, NOVO is a multidisciplinary artist celebrated for his ability to transform mundane objects into extraordinary visual stories. His boundary-defying practice spans painting, immersive installations, performance art, and even tattoo design, all unified by his philosophy of limitless creativity.

• 童年記憶中那些簡單純粹的快樂 – 比如僅用一顆球就能玩耍數小時 – 以及日常生活的片段收集，都成為他充滿大膽樂觀精神作品的創作源泉。
• Childhood memories – particularly the simple joy of playing for hours with just a ball – and collected fragments of daily life become raw materials for his boldly optimistic creations.

Final tips:

「Bounce」為籃球術語，物理反彈代表生命韌性；球體形變代表記憶的可塑性。

“Bounce” – originally a basketball term – transforms into profound metaphors: the physical rebound embodies life’s resilience, while the ball’s deformation mirrors memory’s plasticity.
