Eric Leung, curator of this exhibition, points out that the Chinese traditional landscapes technique has reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Following the rise of literati painting in the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese landscapes put more emphasis on the pursuit of artistic conception and became the most representative art in Chinese painting. Nowadays, both the nature appearance and the social and cultural thoughts have experienced earthshaking changes. Therefore, the present exhibition explores the different ways of expressing artistic conception of landscapes in contemporary art. Furthermore, as Hong Kong is the melting pot of Chinese and Western culture, the exhibition trys to appreciate the artists' styles from the perspective of modern literature.
This exhibition will be featuring the latest neo-San Sui experimental art by 7 Hong Kong artists: Cho Yeou Jui, Choi Tak Yee, Koon Wai Bong, Kum Chi Keung, Leung Kui Ting, Mak Shing Fung and Ng Kwun Lun.
