Wan Fung Art Gallery proudly presents to you the “The Diary of Colourful Journey - Watercolour Exhibition of Okumura Yuzuru”. Okumura Yuzuru is a travelling artist who gets inspiration from people and things he came across during his travels. This exhibition will showcase more than 20 artworks which were painted after his journey to Europe. The artworks are overwhelming and contain strong European features. Wan Fung Art Gallery cordially invites you to come and appreciate the artworks of Okumura Yuzuru.

Many people love travelling and nowadays they would snap everything during their travels and share it on facebook. Oku has a different way to share his travelling experience. Every interesting thing he sees during his trip, he puts it down in his paintings. In Oku''s artworks you could see his innocent and creative mind. At a brief glance, the church, castle and cottages in his artworks are all like smiling faces, which give the audience joy and fun. In every single painting of Oku, you can see a round and bright sun. You may say the sun looks like the Japanese country flag, or even a pan-fried egg. Does it reflect the homesickness he felt during his trip or was it just Oku''s favourite breakfast? Who knows? Obviously only Oku could tell you the answer. There are more mysteries behind Oku''s works, and we invite you to come and explore them by yourself!
