MODERN ART

The more common materials of the modern painter are oil and acrylic. However, Chinese artists in Hong Kong add materials from their own tradition-Chinese ink and rice paper. Combinations of media and a synthesis of ideas drawn from both East and West create the unusual variety of work to be found in the contemporary art scene in Hong Kong. Austere calligraphy and carved form derived from the past exist side by side with the spontaneous gesture and bold experiment. Artists are numerous and those featured here show some of these various techniques and approaches to be found in the visual arts. While sculptors remain few, the number of painters and printmakers gaining rep- utations both in Hong Kong and over- seas steadily increases year by year.
