Presented by: Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
Co-organised by: Art Promotion Office and Shenzhen Fringe Art Center
Supported by: Guangming Culture and Art Center
Guest curators: Hong KO and Eric ZHU
Participating artists: Raymond FUNG Wing Kee and XING Lili
The Art Promotion Office, in collaboration with the Shenzhen Fringe Art Center, jointly organised the "Ink Art Ensembles" Exhibition Series in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) between 2024 and 2026. Guest-curated by Hong KO and Eric ZHU, the series features five exhibitions across four cities: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan. The series includes one inaugural group exhibition and four thematic exhibitions, each pairing a Hong Kong artist with another GBA artist(s). The series focuses on ink art as the subject or primary creative medium for the Hong Kong artists, while other GBA artists respond through diverse artistic forms. The aim is to create a platform for dialogues between artists from Hong Kong and the Mainland, highlighting contemporary artistic experimentation and innovative within the region.
The first thematic exhibition, titled "Ink Impressions and Silk Inspirations" took place at the Art Museum of Guangming Culture and Art Center. In this exhibition, renowned Hong Kong ink artist and architect Raymond FUNG Wing Kee infused spatial aesthetics with ink art, offering his unique perspectives. Meanwhile, Shenzhen-based artist XING Lili reimagined ink through xiangyun sha (a traditional silk fabric), transforming it into contemporary fashion. This approach underscored the transformative potential of traditional materials in modern artistic expression. Through the interplay of their distinct media, the two artists reinterpreted the concept and essence of ink, generating an artistic tension that embodied the "ensemble of differences" and showcased creativity and the interaction of tradition and innovation.
