EVENT DESCRIPTION
Renowned artist Ou Da-wei will present his first solo exhibition, “Inklings of the Heart” at Touch Gallery this September. At 77 years of age, Ou Da-wei is the only contemporary artist in Hong Kong who skillfully combines poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seal carving, integrating the elegance of literati culture into his creations and expressing the intertwining of emotions through a unique style that conveys depth.
Having immersed himself in calligraphy and painting since childhood, the calligraphic works featured in this exhibition reflect Ou Da-wei life philosophy, infused with rich brushwork and unique ideas. He is also among the leading artists in Hong Kong specializing in dry-ink landscape painting, employing delicate brushstrokes to depict the extraordinary scenes in his mind. Each artwork is complemented by poetic verses and engraved seals, profoundly articulating the artist’s cultural sentiments.
Ou Da-wei’s calligraphy, paintings, and seal carving exemplify the unity of the three arts. In traditional Chinese art, the perfect integration of these elements is the ultimate pursuit of every artist. He exemplifies the realm where these three arts converge as one. We warmly welcome everyone to Touch Gallery to experience the literary creation and to connect your heart with Ou Da-wei.
