Ip, Jeremy

1989
Hong Kong
Born in 1989 Hong Kong, Jeremy Ip graduated with a Master’s Degree in Arts (Painting) at the University of the Arts London, Wimbledon College of Arts in 2019, and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University in 2014. He is currently living in Hong Kong,

Ip enjoys reading materials’ processes that independently record absent information. He attempts to respond to the brutal state of existence by borrowing painting forms and co-producing his perception of life. His by-product strives for documentation of affairs, often deviating from the main discourse. He is currently operating WURE AREA, an art space in the Kowloon Bay Industrial Area, encouraging mutual understanding and the exchange of thoughts through non-verbal language and sensations, exploring artistic observation modes as a medium.

Ip has been awarded the International Painting Prize Shortlisted by Seville Cultural Foundation of Spain and has exhibited nearly 20 times in London, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Art fairs include Art Basel in Hong Kong and Art 021 in Shanghai.

In 2025, The Remains of Our Days at Alisan Atelier Hong Kong marked the gallery's first collaboration with the artist.
