EVENT DESCRIPTION

Entrance and exit are relative and interconnected concepts. When you leave one space, you simultaneously arrive in another, like how university graduates transition from the campus environment into society, embarking on a new chapter. Creativity also embodies a sense of direction, whether toward worldly detachment or engagement. Traditional literati paintings often convey a detached sensibility, yet whether the artist seeks utopia in seclusion or embraces worldly concerns, the root lies in their perception of the mundane world, differing only in the direction of that perception. During the pandemic, local art graduates’ works tended to express a pensive melancholy. The graduates from this year focus seems to have shifted towards a more pronounced engagement with community.

Contemporary By Angela Li is proud to present group exhibition curated by Leung Shiu Kee Eric “inoutside” exhibition from 15 August to 7 September 2024, showcasing works by eight young artists who recently graduated, exploring the various facets of human existence. The exhibiting artists include Chau Tsz Ching Kathy, Cheung Ching Ling Oychir, Chow Hoi Yung Jennifer, Chung Chun Kau, Ho Wing Wa Ernest, Lo Wai Ching Rachel, To Yan King Jenny, and Yeung Nga Fei Alice, who express reflections on subjects from different perspectives through their distinct artistic styles.
