Jointly presented by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and co-organised by CUHK Art Museum and Oil Street Art Space (Oi!), the exhibition Seon1<\/sup>: Cultural Symbols of Chinese Landscape Painting from the Archaic Curator Series<\/em> is on display till 5 February 2023 at Oi! Glassie, showcasing contemporary art that draws on traditional Chinese culture. All members of the public are welcome. Admission is free.<\/p>\r\n


\r\nDr Phil Chan, Associate Curator of Painting and Calligraphy at the CUHK Art Museum, and also the guest curator of this exhibition, invited six local artists, Wong Hau-kwei, Ou Da-wei, Raymond Fung Wing-kee, Hung Hoi, Hung Fai and Yau Wing-fung, to recreate one or more masterpieces from the collection of the Art Museum, demonstrating the landscapes of their minds with the techniques they employ.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cCun\u201d, or \u201cSeon1<\/sup>\u201d in Cantonese romanisation, is a distinctive mode of expression in Chinese paintings. \u201cSeon1<\/sup>\u201d, meaning \u201ctextural stroke\u201d, stems from painters\u2019 observation of nature as they process what they see into brushwork that captures the construction, roughness and texture of a landscape, revealing the rendering of shadows and light. The terrains of various regions in different seasons and weather conditions at different times evoke distinct emotions in painters, who then create a fine range of textural strokes.<\/p>\r\n

This exhibition will echo the theme of another exhibition, Majestic Vistas<\/em>: Selected Landscape Paintings from the Collection of the Art Museum, CUHK<\/em><\/a>, which runs till 5 February 2023, revealing the infinite possibilities of landscape painting in the present day. The audience can discover the charm that lingers forever in Chinese landscape paintings and enjoy a tranquil moment in front of them.<\/p>\r\n
