Sin Sin Man

A creative force on Hong Kong’s cultural scene, entrepreneur, gallerist, artist and curator Sin Sin Man believes art should permeate every aspect of life. She founded the Sheung Wan-based Sin Sin Atelier in 1998 to serve as a showcase for her own fashion and jewellery designs. It’s now a centre where she shares craft techniques learned on her travels in Asia. Craving another project, Man’s flair for design motivated her to build three holiday villas in Seminyak, her Bali “home-away-from-home”, imbuing the architecture and decor with her distinct artistic taste. Frequent visits to Indonesia and exposure to its artists inspired her to found Sin Sin Fine Art in 2003, the Wong Chuk Hang gallery famed for bringing Indonesian art to Hong Kong and opening up new international opportunities for the country’s artists. Since then, Man has curated more than 100 contemporary art exhibitions showing work by over 40 artists from around the world. When she isn’t single-handedly running her various enterprises, you can find her practising Tai Chi, her secret weapon. As for the future, Man continues to share her artistic practice and uses her influence to keep traditional craft alive. Her current Sin Sin Atelier pop-up at M+ Museum is open until February.
