Following the virtual tour of our Central exhibition, Ineffable Garden, this week we are delighted to bring you a virtual tour featuring our Aberdeen gallery show under the title, Contemporary Forms of Ink Painting, coinciding with HK Art Gallery Association’s South Side Art Day on April 25th.  During the event, we will have three guided tours at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. Due to the extension of the temporary ban on public gatherings announced by the government, we will implement crowd-control measures by limiting the gathering to no more than four people within the gallery space. If you want to secure a seat for the guided tour, please email us with your preferred time slot.   A shuttlebus will travel among the galleries from 12 pm to 6pm, stopping at Ha Lung Industrial Building, Hing Wai Centre and Global Trade Square in 15-minute intervals, hk-aga.org for more info.  

We are also happy to announce that starting from April 18th, the Aberdeen gallery will remain open from Wednesday to Saturday 10am-6pm until further notice.    

For a long time, contemporary ink art was limited to the Asian continent. However, through the diligent work from these artists, contemporary ink art has found its way to the West and has since influenced many artists. While rooted in ink tradition, these artists strive to revolutionize the classical format and reinvented traditional ink art, be it through the use of innovative media, choice of subject matter, presentation or composition. Artists showcasing here include American photographer Michael Cherney, the prestigious Chinese diaspora Walasse Ting, internationally acclaimed Zhang Yu, Nan Qi and Lan Zhenghui from Mainland China, Hong Kong sculptor Kum Chi-keung and emerging female artist Zhang Yirong.   

These artists collectively stand at the forefront of a movement to take traditional ink painting into a new era, pushing the boundaries of what defines and determines contemporary ink art.
