“It doesn’t matter if you use avant-garde, traditional or western style; the most important thing is to convey the timely significance of the era.” – Wong Hau Kwei
The coronavirus pandemic these two years has casted a shadow of anxiety over Hong Kong. Artspace K is pleased to present “Serenity • Hong Kong”, a solo exhibition of works by prominent contemporary artist Wong Hau Kwei depicting urban and landscape images in Hong Kong. We hope our exhibition will convey a renewed sense of peace and calm.
Wong’s works blend traditional Chinese ink painting techniques and modern western aesthetics. Accentuating the contrast between black and white, opacity and luminosity in the expression of light and color, Wong establishes a distinct style that transcends ink art to a different level. By sharing his portrayals through brushstrokes and ink to reflect the atmosphere of the time, we hope that visitors can experience the unique qualities of Hong Kong.
