a.m. space is pleased to present Wong Chung Yu Solo Exhibition “The Endless Beauty of Ink”. The exhibition will run from May 21 to June 18 and exhibits Wong Chung Yu’s handcrafted ink paintings in recent years, as well as the digital ink paintings created by Pure ink, a painting software developed by the artist with a mission to bridge the gap between this traditional Asian art form and digital media. The traditional craftsmanship and the technology meet in this moment and this place. It expresses the respect toward traditional ink art and the anxiety and excitement about technology intervention.

Wong Chung Yu's nearly 20 years of artistic creation has become a fingerprint on the thumb, which is clearly stamped on this node. His art inherits the traditional spirits of Chinese brush, ink, paper, and silk, and extends the exploration to the edge of technology. He has been the first artist to explore digital ink art since 2005. In recent years, Wong Chung Yu has fine-tuned his direction and mobilized all his energy to establish an ink painting software, namely Pure ink, by integrating his experiences and knowledge gained in these 20 years of art creation. This software is open to the public for use and it is the way he passes his digital brush from his hand to the hand of everyone else. This is not only another level of creation, but it also shows what a person standing on this node can do and should do in this era.
