Art Projects Gallery is proud to introduce Hong Kong artists Lai Wai Lam, Fung Hoi Shan and Tao Hoi Chuen in the group exhibition “Wandering in the rain”. 

The title of the exhibition “Wandering in the rain”, is a metaphor illustrating the key characteristics of the “Gongbi traditional chinese painting technique”. Gongbi requires drawing with fine lines first to represent the exaggerated likenesses of the objects, and then adding washes of ink and color layer by layer, so as to approach the perfection of exquisiteness and fine art. In their respective ways, the three artists uses Gongbi to express unique narratives and interpretations of the city.

Ink medium plays a pivotal role in the Chinese painting system while cities, as subject matters and scene settings, are often depicted in the traditional academic paintings. Painters usually use ordered compositions and fine lines to create elegant visuals in traditional Chinese academic paintings. These paintings were traditionally used as a documentary of life and the city.
