Deep Silence

The 29 artists featured in this exhibition are graduates of the Hong Kong Art School. All of them are practising artists, some have already developed their own style with mature skills while others are new faces to the local art scene. Some of them focus on the examination and study of media and materials. Others attach importance to man’s inner thoughts, which serve as the foundation for their wide range of works.

The exhibition is titled “Deep Silence”. We hope that the audience may look at the artists’ exquisite ways of seeing things and listen to the words deeply embedded in their works, even though the words may sound like a whisper in a world where noises dominate and in a restless age full of anxieties. The participating artists may have different starting points in the world of art and have taken different paths in their art pursuit, but each of them has his/her own perspective and reflection on life and existence. Each has his/her own story to tell.

What makes this exhibition more meaningful is that the participants and organisers are all alumni of the Hong Kong Art School. Part of the gain from the sales of works will also be donated to the School for development use. “Deep Silence” has reunited many who spent their art training years with the Hong Kong Art School. Behind the creativity of the works are the persistence of the artists, the effort of the Hong Kong Art School to fulfil the mission of art education, and the continuous care, strong bond and unfailing support between the alumni.
