“Gangcai” is a diverse cultural medium. The original skills from “Guangcai” in Guangzhou has branched out and blossomed since its arrival in Hong Kong, creating its own historical and artistic value.
In the past century, Gangcai continued to innovate and glow in Hong Kong by showcasing the diversity of cultural exchange between East and West, resulting in a unique Hong Kong hand-painted porcelain style. It is the golden age of Gangcai which has become an important sector and legend in Hong Kong’s economy.
For our “Gangcai Encounter” presentation, Artspace K has invited eight Hong Kong Gangcai artists to awaken the emotions, and bond between Gangcai and the Hong Kong people. Its beautiful name reflects Hong Kong’s memory which has been retraced, reconstructed and re-innovated to integrate into the lives of contemporary Hong Kong people and gaining recognition in the art field.
