Argus FONG Tsz-leong: Hilltop

EVENT DESCRIPTION

“Hilltop” is a retrospective exhibition of local artist Argus Fong. The exhibition features the artist’s work between 2016 – 2023, where landscape is the main theme. The collection tells a story whereby the viewers are able to see the thoughts, transition and meticulous arrangement by the artist. Whether it be the develop in creative technique or concept, to mastering and exercising control of different painting elements, the artist manages to use a limited palette to present delicate and complex pieces.

The collection mainly features grand compositions with a perspective that places the viewers at a far-off distance. One can’t help but be curious when majestic mountains are met with a sense of desolation. For instance, a station without any trace of it’s passengers or means of transport; to large tunnels that only whisper a gust of emptiness and unease.
