Hong Kong artist Halley Cheng's brand new series of paintings depict local school buildings in delicate watercolours that evoke admiration for a distinctly Hong Kong style of architecture. A pupil who surpasses his or her teacher is the intense shade of blue pigment that is derived from a paler source of the same colour. This exhibition, "Cerulean" - the pale blue of the sky - reminds us not only of our school days but also of the role these old and familiar buildings once played in our lives.
