STATEMENT

Malaysian-born, Hong Kong-based artist KELLYHOSY creates theatrical narratives from societal behaviours. Influenced by psychedelic and naive art movements, her work explores identity, emotional labor, and contemporary absurdity through bold, character-driven imagery. Urban rituals and mundane objects become stages for humor, pathos, and unexpected recognition.

‘The Drama Produce-rs is her debut solo exhibition as the inaugural artist of The Boring Artist Launchpad, introducing her practice to the international contemporary art scene.
