When Chinese painting meets Western painting, the choice of emptiness and concreteness, leaves space and fills with colours. The variation of painting creates immense imagination and vividity.  

The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures became the characteristic of Hong Kong for many decades. How does it apply to art and what was its development? In this artist sharing session, we have invited Prof. Kurt Chan, a professional artist and educator to share his art journey with us. A guided tour of his exhibition and a gallery visit will be arranged in November. Join us to find out the art of Hong Kong!
