This exhibition tries to explore what is ‘creation’ through the showcased works.

Some questions will come to our mind as we appreciate at various venues artworks of different types that strike a chord in us:

– How were these works produced?

– Do the works have any connotations?

– Were creators influenced by any masters?

– What has been their creative thinking?

An artist’s thinking or creative idea is quite an intriguing matter, without a clear context for one to grasp. So it’s clear that only through the work and its expressional forms, we may have a clue of what the artist thinks.

During so-called formative stage, every creative type would be influenced, more or less, by someone or something, including dominant creative trends or cultural atmosphere.

The creative journey is a long one and artists go through different development stages. This time we invited, from Hong Kong, Wong Yan-kwai, painter, musician and movie art director and Liu Wai Tong, poet, writer and photographer; from Macau, Lio Man Cheong, a seasoned painter, Konstanin Bessmertny, a Russian artist living in the MSAR, Yuen Yi Lo, university professor, Lui Chak Keong, an expert in ancient architecture, Coke Wong Ka Long, sculptor, as well as several younger artists like Lai Sio Kit, Erik Fok and Vinsa Io Weng Si.

In their creations, we can try to find the masters that have inspired these artists.
