In their seventh year of collaboration with Art Central, UOB will present an innovative and interactive ink art installation that focuses on sustainability and new media, as well as a public talk.

●      UOB will present the 2022 UOB Art in Ink Awards’ winning artworks and Interwoven: Wired Shanshui, a large-scale installation by Margaret Yeung Kwok Fan at UOB Art Space. Commissioned by UOB, the installation transforms a conventional two-dimensional landscape painting into a three-dimensional shanshui sculpture using recycled copper wires and natural waste wood. The contrasting materials are interwoven in harmony, seeking a hybridity that connects the past, present and future of traditional Chinese aesthetics, whilst highlighting the hopeful progress of sustainability and environmental protection. Yeung also mentored Guo Yin Kam, student winner of the 2022 UOB Art in Ink Awards, to create an interactive installation with digital artwork that will flux and change in response to visitors’ movements.

●      With an aim to promote Chinese ink art, UOB will present the debut of UOB Art Explorer at Art Central, providing fair visitors with an opportunity to learn and experience Chinese ink art. Audiences are invited to be inspired by the sculptures and installation by artist Margaret Yeung and the winning artworks of the UOB Art in Ink Awards to create their own Chinese ink artworks through various forms of art creations.

●      UOB will also present a talk titled Inner Reflections: New Interpretations of Traditional Ink, to take place on Saturday, 25 March from 3 to 4pm. The artistic transformation of classical approaches in Chinese ink art is a theme readily explored by artists, many of whom draw from the historical canon to create unique aesthetics whilst honouring the past. In the talk, four speakers will share their insights into Chinese ink art as it stands today, highlighting the concurrent development of forward-thinking innovations and the humanistic values that the art form continues to uphold. The talk will be conducted in Cantonese.

Speakers:
Mr Calvin Hui, Co-founder and Chairman of 3812 Gallery and Founder of Ink Now
Dr Sarah Ng, Curator of the Hong Kong University Museum & Art Gallery
Dr Chloe Suen, Chair of Simon Suen Foundation, Founder of Sun Museum
Dr Margaret Yeung, New Ink artist

Moderator:
Ms Zabrina Lo, Feature Editor, Tatler Hong Kong
