HKIA Arts & Culture Festival 2024 — Traversing Past and Present
Back
Organised by: Hong Kong International Airport
In collaboration with: Art Promotion Office of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department
In yet another collaboration, Hong Kong International Airport and the Art Promotion Office of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) join hands to showcase Hong Kong arts and culture in new horizons to foreign travellers and local residents alike. Featuring a series of interactive works by artist Cherie Cheuk and designer Jack Lau, not only can visitors view a unique exhibition but also create their own masterpiece!
Inspired by the local elements of the "fabric streets" of Sham Shui Po, Cherie created a series of gongbi paintings, including flowers, birds, and monkeys with a classical flair, bonsai’s on window sills, ubiquitous tile patterns, and literati curios and displays. These paintings, inserted in a rich palette of colours and patterns, bring joy to the audience for selection and visual studies. Meanwhile, Jack animated these works using arts technology, adding an ingenious vital touch by creating a custom website through augmented reality (AR) and motion graphics design. Viewers can make their own choice of "painting", "colour" and "pattern" to craft an animation of their own.
This exhibition debuted at Tio Gallery in 2023 as part of the "Art><Creativity" Exhibition Series in the Greater Bay Area, co-organised by the Art Promotion Office of the LCSD and Hong Kong Designers Association.
