10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present HKFOREWORD16, an exhibition showcasing recent works by 13 Hong Kong art graduates. Now in its fifth year, the HKFOREWORD series, organized by 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, aims to actively promote and strengthen relations between the new generation of contemporary artists in Hong Kong and local art institutions. This year’s contenders were of particularly high quality and it is the largest group of HKFOREWORD artists to date. Four of the artists are male and nine are female, the highest female selection ever. The works include video, painting, ceramic, photography, mixed media and sculptural installation. Gallery Director, Katie de Tilly states, “This year’s group of graduating artists show real strength and integrity. Amazing in both thinking and execution, with great production techniques. Their ideas show originality and are relevant to the lives of their generation. I am very pleased to introduce such an exciting new group of artists onto the Hong Kong art scene.”

Artists in the show are recent Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates from The School of Creative Media at City University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Art School, Hong Kong Baptist University, and Savannah College of Art and Design in Hong Kong.
