Invitational Exhibition For Hong Kong Young Artists

Wan Fung Art Gallery is hosting “Invitational Exhibition For Hong Kong Young Artists” from 20.11.2009 to 05.12.2009, more than 30 local young artists are participating, from oil paintings to illustrations; the traditional to the innovative; realism to abstraction; landscapes to figures, reaching to many local creative areas.

Hong Kong has always been the exchange window of eastern and western cultures, the international information here circulate rapidly, and it has been an advantage for our local artists. In recent years, along with the hectic growth of China, eastern art, especially Chinese art has been brought under the international spotlight. How should our local artists deal with this? What is the potential of our young artists? These questions are our concerns.

Wan Fung Art Gallery has been cultivating talented artists and promoting art for more than 20 years, with this exhibition we want to give our young artists a platform to perform their talents equally. We are also keen on bringing them into the Chinese art sphere, preparing them for a national challenge. We sincerely hope that, through the exchange of skills and concepts between artists from mainland China and our young artists in Hong Kong, it can motivate the progress of our art development here. This exhibition includes the artworks from more than 30 artists, they are open-minded and highly creative, just the right examples to show the wits of Hong Kong artists, we believe that you will find them as impressive as we have found them.
