First exhibition of “Ink Art Ensembles” exhibition series in Greater Bay Area to be staged in Shenzhen (with photos)

     In collaboration with the Shenzhen Fringe Art Center, the Art Promotion Office under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department is presenting the "Ink Art Ensembles" exhibition series in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) to bring together nine artists from Hong Kong and the Mainland to form new artistic expressions with new styles of contemporary ink art. The five exhibitions in the series will be staged in four cities in the GBA, namely Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan, enabling visitors to experience the rich and diverse cultural charm of the region while appreciating the beauty of ink art. The first exhibition, "New Dynamics of Qi Yun" kicked off the series in the form of a joint showcase, and is running at the Shenzhen Art Museum from September 24 to November 6 with free admission. The exhibition is also one of the programmes in the 4th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival.
      
     The exhibition series is curated by Hong Ko from Hong Kong and Eric Zhu from Shenzhen. The "New Dynamics of Qi Yun" showcases 19 sets of works. The participating artists include Raymond Fung, Ross Yau, Tony Ng, Barbara Choi, Xing Lili, "_.WAV_Studio_ "(Cao Yuxi and Lau Hiu Kong), Ou Tingzhu and Wen Qiuwen. The artists redefine the meaning of ink art and revitalise its dynamics through painting, sculpture, installation art, multimedia art and fashion design.
      
     The other exhibitions in the series will be presented by one Hong Kong artist in collaboration with another art group from other GBA cities. While the Hong Kong artist will focus primarily on ink art as the theme or medium, the other GBA art group will respond to the art work by the Hong Kong artist through various artistic mediums, thus inspiring creativity and showcasing the achievements of contemporary art and future trends.
