Mind as the Moon. Solo exhibition. On display are some eighty pieces of her recent work, including paintings in both Chinese and Western media as well as Chinese calligraphy.
The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong will
present an exhibition of a Buddhist artist, Nancy Koh, from 16 January to 22
February 2009. On display are some eighty pieces of her recent work,
including paintings in both Chinese and Western media as well as Chinese
calligraphy.
Nancy Koh was born in Singapore, brought up in Penang, Malaysia, educated in
Australia, and moved to Hong Kong following her marriage. She began to learn
Chinese calligraphy at the age of five. In the 1970s, she studied Chinese
ink painting following Master Ding Yanyong (1902-1978). Since then, she has
continued to cultivate her pursuits in Chinese calligraphy and oil painting.
Koh is a Buddhist practitioner and has been conferred the dharma name Akasha
Garbha (quintessence of the sky). Her calligraphy and painting are sometimes
inspired by Buddhist literature or ideas. She also writes poetry and has
participated in a musical production. She believes that one should ¡§comply
with benevolence; dabble in the arts¡¨. Her art has a harmonious and
peaceful aura.
The exhibition will be opened by Dr. Philip K. H. Wong, Chairman of The
University of Hong Kong Foundation for Educational Development and Research,
and Professor C. F. Lee, Director of the School of Professional and
Continuing Education, HKU, at 6 pm. on Thursday 15 January 2009.
