The Unified Stroke: Calligraphy by Lo Hon Yiu
12
November 2008 to 4 January 2009
The
University Museum and Art Gallery of The University
of Hong Kong is delighted to present an exhibition
entitled "The Unified Stroke" which
features 41 calligraphic works by Lo Hon Yiu,
an alumnus of the University.
A
self-taught calligrapher, Lo is a graduate in
philosophy and political science. He currently
works as a barrister. Lo has integrated his knowledge
of Western philosophy with Chinese calligraphy
over the years to create his own unique style
of cursive script.
Lo
is not content to simply copy the form of Chinese
characters, stroke by stroke, but rather seeks
to gain the essence of calligraphy. Thus, Lo is
particularly interested in cursive script, as
it is the most expressive form of calligraphic
writing. He uses his own unique brushwork to reveal
the strong flow of energy that is the spirit of
cursive script. The characters vary in size and
brushstroke, and are highly rounded in appearance;
they are connected by flowing brushstrokes. His
calligraphy insists in us, feelings of harmony.
A
fully-illustrated catalogue will be published
to coincide with this exhibition.
