Hong Kong-based artist Elizabeth Briel has created a series of monoprint screenprints, bilingual text woven around and through photos taken during her childhood in France, elucidating the restlessness of living between languages and continents. To create these works she collaborated with a French papermaker whose papers have been tinted with wine from surrounding Margaux vineyards, and a Hong Kong print studio. During the exhibition visitors have the opportunity to explore these studios and the works virtually through events and discussions.

Elizabeth Briel’s prints, paintings, and installations begin with materials imbued with meaning—papers devastated by a typhoon or made of military uniforms, paints of bone and lead—and frequently incorporate architectural elements. She received a BFA in Painting from the University of Minnesota, and has been awarded fellowships or residencies from China Exploration and Research Society (Shangri-la), Universiti Sains Malaysia (Penang), and Grabart (Barcelona). Briel has lived, worked and traveled in Hong Kong since 2006, where she runs EBriel Studio in the city’s Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC).
