Transcending the Gongbi Tradition: 工筆新傳
Contemporary Hong Kong Fine-brush Painters
As Art consultant to Hongkong Land, Nissa Bella Art Management supported the curator and the artists in the production of this exhibition. The show curated by Dr Chen Fong-fong brunch together nine gongbi artists: Brian Chan Kwan-lok, Sam Cheng Tan-shan, Cherie Cheuk Ka-wai, Eunice Cheung Wai-man, Barbara Choi Tak-yee, Sue Lai Kwan-ting, Jess Leung Lai-man, Joey Leung Ka-yin and Wilson Shieh Ka-ho. Different themes and styles are explored by the artists. The artworks reflect the contemporary interpretation of this classical technique.
To foster the understanding of the medium, toolboxes showcasing the brushes, oriental ink and pigments used by gongbi artists are showcased and an educational program comprising talks is also offered.
