Tiles Processing I Art Beyond The Surface

Show your unique design on tiles with Inkjet or Silk-Screen Printing.

Wanting to show your characters and ideas that couldn't be presented by tile patterns? Let us reveal the hidden magic of tiles. With tiles processing, you can combine different texture, colours to present your design. Creating lines and depth with cutting and collage to enrich visual elements.


Artistic Cutting and Collage

Using waterjet cutting, visual elements are no longer limited by the inherent frame of tiles. With a clean blueprint, we can cut the tiles into any shapes and sizes.

On site, the workers only need to install the modular tiles according to the labels, then the pictures will appear.

3D collage

By adding height difference to tiles, depth and layers can be created.

Texture Collage

Collaging not only can create lines and shapes, but also can play with contrast by combining texture.

Metal Embedding

Terrazzo Relief

The relief on terrazzo can create a visual focal point.

Curved Terrazzo Relief

Tile Low-Relief

Various processing can lead to completely different styles.

Other than the above mentioned processing, other methods like Inkjet Printing, Silk-Screen Printing and Emboss Spot UV Printing could also allow you to release your creativity and craft your own artistic space.

藝術瓷磚DIY

除了訂製瓷磚、手畫瓷磚,有沒有想過不懂繪畫的你也可以親手設計和製作你獨一無二的磚塊?
藝術家 Carrie 擅長以樹脂膠手作飾物、修補茶壺門柄,這次則與 ASA TILES 合作,以樹脂膠帶出特別的瓷磚風格。

最初 Carrie 與家人創立自己的首飾品牌時,主題便是「客製化」,所以在開設第一間門店時,便以自己造的地磚佈置店面,加入閃粉等裝飾在磚塊裡,增加品牌少女風的感覺。

鍾情於「花」的 Carrie,亦希望以藝術繼續探討花的可延性,透過設計訂製,或讓客人在工作坊親手設計磚塊,呈現出每人心目中的花,更能安裝在自己的家中,甚至在商業用途上。

根據客人的主題及顏色要求,ASA 與 Carrie 度身訂造屬於你的設計,你的瓷磚,讓你的藝術融入你的生活。

"Hong Kong Streets on Tiles" Hong Kong City Painter-Zhao Qiting

I usually paint on paper and canvas. Painting on ceramic tiles is a new attempt for Elaine. When I write, I feel fresh and challenging. The whole creative process brings her a new experience and a little new reflection.

In love with the streets of Hong Kong, Elaine has always used watercolors to document the appearance of our city, especially the streets with a taste of "old Hong Kong". For her, the effect of painting on the tiles is better than imagined, because the appearance of the street and the tiles are put together, and it turns out that they blend in just right.

"Affected by the old street signs, I have always liked metal signboards, so I especially love the earthy color system. Using tiles of the corresponding color as the drawing board, there is no need to add more content due to the background color of the painting. The artistic conception and composition of the "blank" The sense of space on the top is exceptionally present."

In addition to the color matching, the texture of the creation on tiles is also different from the usual creation on paper and canvas.

"Some tiles are not smooth, but have unique textures, and the texture is very different from ordinary drawing boards. Such tiles, after the corresponding composition, the work will appear more real. It turns out that a painting can not only bring out visual enjoyment. , Creators can provide one more sensory way for viewers to appreciate the work-tactile rather than visual."

So, does this new creative attempt still give Elaine more new experiences?

"I have always said that I like old things. The valuable thing about old things is that we must protect them. Their fragility makes people cherish them. Or, if we don’t cherish them, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do it again soon. Seeing it. Tiles give me the same feeling. If you don’t pay attention, the creation on the brick surface will no longer be the original. Because of this, I must always remind myself that in the life of non-stop creation, I must not forget it. We must always value, stare at and cherish every work."

The possibility that ceramic tiles can be shaped has gone beyond the inherent ideas all the time!

香港城市畫家 - 趙綺婷

Elaine Chiu 趙綺婷

「以創作表達她對香港街道的鍾情」
生於香港、長於香港,於二零一八年,畢業於香港大學文學院藝術史系。趙綺婷的畫作圍繞城市景色,從第一身視角,刻畫個人與城市的關係。趙綺婷使用水彩作為主要繪畫媒介,透過其透明靈動的特質,渲染 出轉瞬即逝的光、影去刻畫城景。對她而言,創作像是在城市街頭上的歷險、亦像是對個人身分認同的探索,由畫作帶領大家以自身視角再次觀察我們身處城市的脈搏與心跳。趙綺婷希望以水彩創作和寫生,紀錄我城獨有的景貌、社區和文化,表達她對香港街道的鍾情。

「透過繪畫反映我城的獨有面貌」

藝術家趙綺婷透過繪畫街道中的招牌,反映香港 — 我城的獨有面貌。招牌在香港城市景貌擔當重要角色,除了指路、塑造地標等的實際功能,招牌的設計、書法字體和工藝造法,側面反映了香港人的文化、性格 和民間生活與藝術。香港的街道離不開字,街道上可以說是字、街、畫相融,充滿各類圖像化的標記。對於趙綺婷來說,街道招牌文化使她反思和探索個人文化和身分的構成,思考書法、霓虹等等對香港人視覺身分的深遠影響。

「留住最後一股回憶線索」

「對於我這樣一個九十後,第一次畫皇都戲院、與第一次畫嘉咸街街市,都是準備清拆要請願保育的時候。許多第一次繪畫的歷史建築,都是前輩寫生人帶隊去畫才認識。聽著導賞說著歷史故事娓娓道來,心中對舊時光的想像油然而生,卻感嘆自己『生不逢時』定還是有哪一種詛咒,令自己畫的東西都存在生命危機?」

「奇就奇在,舊物自然產生的鏽跡、塵埃、朦朧美,讓我這種九十後有種久盼渴望的安穩感。他們說與我們這些年輕人成長的,不應該是那些摩登大樓嗎?怎麼妳都不畫畫新景象啊?

我也搞不懂,可能我五行缺金,總愛觀看鐵皮招牌;又或許我愛木給人沈穩的感覺,總對玻璃反光的物料沒有太大歸屬感,畫得不起勁,倒不如不畫了。

在我成長階段,香港城景不斷不斷在變,究竟有沒有一些符號,能讓我這輩遊牧遊民,稍微喘息依附一下?」

「畫畫,讓更我了解自己的喜惡。我偏愛使用大地色系,沉沉穩穩。層層疊疊的水跡,染出若即若離的距 離美感。我承認,我不曾屬於那個時代。但是從這個時代觀看那個時代,則產生了一股物哀感 — 安穩最終 都必將逝去,能抓住最後一股回憶線索,就好好畫下,這可能是我內心的想法。」

「藝術應該生活化」— 年輕藝術家

近年一位年輕藝術家為香港街頭帶來色彩,亦為本地藝術帶來革新。走在街上偶爾會被震驚,在她的畫筆下,平日冰冷的牆壁丶地板和樓梯搖身一變栩栩如生的3D畫作。Terena Wong 將自己的靈感意念繪成現實,為「石屎森林」塗上色彩,增添活力。

想做就去做,走上藝術之路
藝術之路從來給人感覺不易行,需要天賦和造藝,令很多人卻步。但Terena相信只要敢想像,就能創造奇蹟。從小就喜歡繪畫的Terena於中學選修視覺藝術,隨後於大學也修讀相關的科目。即使被認為藝術之路是難走,敢想丶敢做丶敢嘗試的Terena於2017年成為美國著名街頭藝術家Tracy Lee Stum的助手,協助校園藝術教育,參與巨星Katy Perry專輯的繪畫制作,以及參加美國Street Art Festival和意大利International Street Art Painting等。一切奇妙的國際藝術體驗全因當日向Tracy Lee自薦的勇氣。

「藝術是沒有限制的」

對於Terena而言藝術是沒有限制的,接觸和參與藝術可以很簡單。在人來人往的街上繪畫街頭藝術是相當注目的,旁人也會因好奇而停下腳步,靜心觀看,也不時會有人上前提問。「其實願意去問,已經是接觸藝術,是參與的第一步。」作品太多也會有儲存的煩惱,不過Terena的作品不張於任何紙張或物料,而是任何一條樓梯丶一片磚丶一幅牆,會永遠貯藏於相機的鎂光燈下和眼睛的快門下。

「藝術應該生活化」

Terena覺得藝術應該生活化,能為「石屎森林」帶來活力。顏料並非繪畫的唯一元素,白紙亦非畫作的唯一媒介,但憑自己的巧手和熱誠,Terena創作了屬於自己的藝術和風格,在不同的地方留下足跡,讓沉悶的石牆也可以絹麗地細訴自己的故事。

撰稿留言:Terena Wong ‧ 一位年輕藝術家,本著藝術無邊界的理念,不拘繩墨,將藝術帶到牆壁丶樓梯丶地板等建築。

「在藝術中尋找盼望及傳遞愛」 ─ 從幼教走上藝術路

「想透過畫畫將安慰及盼望帶給這個世界,也帶給自己。」
這是Haley的初心,亦是她的堅持和目標。  

踏上藝術路

原職幼稚園教師多年,毅然走上截然不同的路,全因在創作中找到世間的色彩。手執起十多年沒觸碰過的畫筆,順著靈感及深刻的思想,畫作完成了,亦就此定下決心往藝術方向走。

《冷街窄巷》
他們正在暗角裡獨自痛哭,在黑夜裡絕望無助。他們的眼中,白天、黑夜,同樣沒有光、沒有夢。然而,祂明白,因祂也同樣走過這段路。 「人子來,為要拯救失喪的人。 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.」 他們會得到真正的救贖,願這成為人們最深的禱告。    

從專屬的手工藝開始

Haley選擇以手工藝起步 ─ 於首飾及手機殼上繪畫。以小小的空間作畫紙,想展現的信息卻宏大。首先了解別人的故事及想法,再把當中的思想以畫表達出來,從而創造出每個人獨一無二的專屬產品。整個過程中所花的時間不只於動筆創作,還需用於互相溝通及了解。正因如此,每一件作品所帶出的意義更貼近人心。

《絕處的花》
看似脆弱,卻是頑強;外表渺小,卻是強大;從不爭豔,卻是美麗。似乎生不逢時,卻是造物主親手栽種的,溫柔而堅壯的花。    
《I Could Have Danced All Night》
假使我快樂,我大概會跳舞,自由地、如風、如歌般旋轉,直到飛上天空,變成藍天和白雲。也許你以為我是鳥,其實不是,我不過是個女孩子。  

把愛灌入藝術

建立品牌的社交平台、於D2 Place的市集參展、開辦水彩畫班及工作坊… Haley一直為自己開拓更多可能性。把藝術融入生活中的各種細節,不但增添美感,更加添了靈魂。在所有情況下都致力為客人獻上一幅觸動人心的圖畫,願以此帶出一份獨一無二的愛和祝福。

「你是獨一無二,值得被愛。相信,愛,就是最真摰的藝術。」

撰稿留言: 問及Haley還想怎樣介紹自己,她說:「我喜歡看樹,因為當我仰望,就愈發現自己渺小。這使我渴望長得更高,看見更多。」願這位喜歡看樹的女孩,在這條藝術路中能夠茁壯成長,成為一棵堅壯的大樹,把更多的愛以藝術傳播開去。
