What's on
Two generations
The reform of Chinese ink art has taken on new features since the 1980s, with home artists integrating more into the international art scene, venturing into vanguard approaches. Ink Art: In a New Spirit, an exhibition now on at University Arts Centre of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Shenzhen, juxtaposes the experimental works by ink artists of two generations. The earlier group represented by Wang Tiande, Wang Shuye and Zhang Quan on show, experienced the art movements in the 1980s and '90s. Their works display an individual interest in historical narratives as an approach to creation, reflecting on the rules of the world and exhibiting a philosophical outlook. The other 10 artists come from a younger group. Their works highlight a greater exposure to cultural trends. Curated by Wei Xiangqi, the exhibition closes on Dec 18. It is the themed show of the third Culture and Arts Festival at the university that tends to engage people in traditional culture and generate ideas.
10 am-6 pm, daily. TC101 Space, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, 2001 Longxiang Boulevard, Longgang district, Shenzhen, Guangdong province.
