27 Mar Boring Shadow——Foreign in Daily Life
Shadow Borer——is a thief of time, who collects those scenes that are both familiar and unfamiliar to us, then bring those scenes into our sight; is a sculptor, who depicts what he saw via light and shadow. By the end of the 1950s, tons of people crowded into Hong Kong. To them, “hometown” is no longer indicating the prairie where is far far away. It is where they stand now. Like culture, like art. Being the center of contemporary ink art, Hong Kong ink art has fused the traditional and modern, western and eastern cultures. The daily views and objects nowadays have been shrouded with the refinement of tranquility. This hybrid characteristic is the unique rumination that Hong Kong art owns. Just like the Shadow Borer, Hong Kong artists use ink and paper as graver and stone, to refine the routine life into pieces of art.
We are delighted to invite you to enjoy those outstanding works made by the five young Hong Kong artists: Season Lao, Sam Cheng, Chan Kwan Lok, Cherie Ka-wai Cheuk, and Sui Ying Zaffer Chan in the soon coming exhibition: Boring Shadow——Foreign in Daily Life. In the exhibition, you will realize how these five artists show the uniqueness of Hong Kong ink art by transferring such media with a long heritage, into something fresh and modern. We are looking forward to seeing you, and believe that you will be fond of these works just like us.
