Transmutation of Vision and Resonance
The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong is
pleased to present the exhibition 'Transmutation of Vision and Resonance:
The Works of Leung Kui Ting', featuring twenty mixed-media installations
incorporating ink paintings.
Leung was born in Guangzhou and studied painting under Lui Shou Kwan
(1919–1975). Much inspired by Lui's New Ink Painting theory, Leung combines
theories of modern Western art and graphic design. Through years of
searching, experimentation, and creative endeavours, he has created a type
of installation that is located between the traditional and the modern,
using ink painting produced with his unique brush skills. He has established
a new direction for modern Chinese Ink Painting in Hong Kong.
The artist seeks to refer back to tradition while grasping the modern. In
the exhibition, one can easily see Leung's maturity in combining geometric
forms and abstract painting and his interest in the treatment of space.
Elements in the paintings are related to the space corresponding to concrete
objects in the installation so that harmony between the flat painting
surface and the three-dimensional installation can be achieved. With this
aim, the objects, their shapes, materials and symbolic implications, are
carefully considered during artist's creative process. The artist combines
elements of East and West, new and old, concrete and abstract, visible and
invisible, perfectly into one. Leung's emphasis on traditional Chinese
culture, manifested through Western aesthetics is particularly evident in
his evocation of nature in line.
The exhibition preview will take place on Tuesday 5 July 2005 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7 p.m. at the Museum.
