Solan Chiu is a Chinese ceramic artist based in Hong Kong whose conceptually-driven work focuses on sculpture and large-scale installation. Her art synthesizes deep Chinese cultural heritage with perspectives shaped by living in New Zealand in the 1990s, forming a unique visual language rooted in personal and social narrative.
Her four-decade practice explores memory, place, and material transformation. Chiu’s immersive ceramic installations turn architectural spaces into contemplative environments, creating visceral encounters that leave lasting sensory impressions. Within these works, contemporary sculptural forms convey layered historical and cultural meaning.
As founder of Hong Kong’s Giant Year Gallery, she fosters emerging talent and promotes ceramic art in public discourse. Her international recognition is reflected in acquisitions by institutions such as the Macau Museum of Art, The World Bank in Washington, D.C., and the Auckland Museum, and through exhibitions in Venice, London, Berlin, Singapore, Japan, Macau, and Hong Kong.
