Lightness of Being: Hong Kong Art Graduates Draw on Life

Description

Contemporary by Angela Li’s new group exhibition Lightness of Being showcases profound reflections on life by a new generation of Hong Kong fine art graduates.

Working across different fine art media, from ceramics and mineral pigments to charcoal drawing, the artists draw inspiration from observations and reflections on the minutiae of everyday life. Featured artworks include “Sinking in Light” by Nick Lau Ting-fung, graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University, who uses rich and delicate charcoal drawings to document everyday life in his hometown; also from the same university, On Tsz-tung takes “emergency exits” as the theme for her mineral pigment series “Portal IV” to reflect her anxious desire for escape.

Curated by experienced curator Eric Leung Shiu-kee, the exhibition features six more emerging artists: Aki Chau Sze-ling, Karman Chiu Kar-man, Kathryn Chung Cheuk-wing, Angela Heung Lok-ping, Janice Leung Lok-yi and Angela Tse Yuen-shan.

An opening reception will be held on 13 August from 17:00, featuring the curator and all eight artists. Reservation is required.
