Jao Tsung-I Academy｜Hong Kong Emerging Artists Phase 5

Description

Sponsored by Simon Suen Foundation and co-organised by Jao Tsung-I Academy and Sun Museum, Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition aims to provide a free platform for young Hong Kong artists to exhibit their works, helping them grow into elites of the art world. Thus, intends to revitalise the spirit of Chinese art and inherit the philosophy of Professor Jao Tsung-i, the master of traditional Chinese studies. These artists reinterpret traditional art through innovative forms, showcasing boundless potential and creativity.

Phase 5 features four Hong Kong young artists with distinct artistic styles, working across media including acrylic painting, printmaking, photography, and Guangcai (Guangzhou painted porcelain). The themes of their works revolve around the traces and transformations of life—ranging from everyday moments and travel experiences, to the figures of grassroots workers and the 13 Streets of To Kwa Wan, which are currently facing redevelopment. Together, these works offer intimate reflections on the world as seen through the eyes of contemporary youth.

The selected artists of Phase 5 are listed below:

✦︎ Lee King Ngon, Jack @blessingkidshk

✦︎ Lee See Wing, Irene @rrene_leeee

✦︎ Cheung Wing Sum (CCJ)
