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.
