Touch Gallery sincerely invites Hong Kong "new gongbi" artist Eunice CHEUNG Wai Man to present the "12 Flower Heroes - Eunice Cheung Wai Man New Gongbi Ink Art Solo Exhibition" from 5 September to 3 October. Based on the Twelve Flower Deities in classical themes and the exquisite and elegant traditional gongbi painting techniques, she reinterpreted them with contemporary surreal aesthetics, transforming the international stars on the screen into anthropomorphic animals! What kind of sparks will it also bring when new gongbi painting meets Canton porcelain?
As time goes by, flowers keep impressing people with their timeless beauty in different posture and appearance, which inspire numerous fascination and imagination. Since ancient times, literati have used flowers to create poems, and even imagined twelve flower deities of each month as their creative themes. The image of the Twelve Flower Deities changed with time. In ancient times, there were flower deities such as Tao Yuanming and Su Shi. Although not complimented for how handsome they were, they showed excellence in arts and literature, while known for their moral virtues as gentlemen.
Opening reception: 8/9 5:30-7:30pm
