The
Norman W. M. Ko Collection of Hong Kong Art
24 October to 9 December 2007
The
University Museum and Art Gallery of The University
of Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition
featuring a donation of Hong Kong art to the Museum
by Norman W. M. Ko. The exhibition includes over
100 paintings ranging from Chinese ink, oil, acrylic,
printmaking to mixed media, by some 60 artists
who represent the development of Hong Kong art
from the 1960s to the present.
On
show will be conventional ink paintings by Yang
Shan-sum, Cheung Wan, Lo Koon-chiu, Cheng Ming,
Liew Come-tong, among others; and works by modern
ink artists such as Irene Chou, Kan Tai-keung,
Leung Kui-ting, Chui Tze-hung, Raymond Fung and
Ng Kun-lun, many of whom are followers of Lui
Shou-kwan and Wucius Wong. These two pioneer artists
led an innovation in ink in response to Abstract
Expressionism in the 1960s, giving rise to the
New Ink Painting movement. Modern ink painting
has been representative of contemporary Chinese
art in Hong Kong ever since.
Also
on view will be artworks in Western media or manner
by Gaylord Chan, John Li, Ha Bik-chuen, Joseph
Lee etc. Artists such as Kwok Mang-ho, Ronnie
Wong and Wong Chung-yu create works with vernacular
themes and whimiscal narratives, drawing on caricature,
in Chinese ink and other media. Other artists
such as Chu Hing-wah, Jerry Kwan, Wong Sau-ching,
Tsang Fan-kwong and Luk Kwok-yuen depict bustling
and anonymous city life.
Norman
W. M. Ko is a former professor in mechanical engineering
at The University of Hong Kong. He is also a dedicated
artist whose sculptural works are evident in many
of Hong Kong's public spaces.
