Two exhibitions “Vernacular: Liu Qinghe in Hong Kong” & “Being-there: Works by Chen Shuxia” will be on display at UMAG

The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) collaborates with The Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) to present two exhibitions by renowned Chinese artists Liu Qing-he and Chen Shu-xia: “Vernacular: Liu Qinghe in Hong Kong” and “Being-there: Works by Chen Shuxia” from April 17 to May 24, 2015.

“Vernacular—Liu Qinghe in Hong Kong” is an exhibition that features more than sixty contemporary ink works by Liu Qing-he (b.1961), an artist and professor at the academy who is best known for his unique style of contemporary ink paintings. His works often portray social realities and their impact on Chinese families, individuals and the artist himself.

“Being-there: Works by Chen Shuxia”, displays a selection of paintings by Chen Shu-xia. An exhibiting artist for the past 30 years, Chen’s artwork builds on the traditional genre of oil painting and its long-practised and western-influenced techniques through the presentation of portraits and still-lifes, subjects and styles informed by her daily observations.
