As soon as October arrives, Hong Kong’s art market becomes lively. Sotheby’s auction, Bonhams auction, Guardian Auction, Poly Auction, etc. are all being held. Watching previews has become a major program. If you look closely, three days and three nights are not enough.
The annual Fine Art Asia and Ink Asia also opened at the Convention and Exhibition Center, returning to their pre-epidemic glory. Exhibitors from all over the world came in droves, and many old friends met. There are many attractions in these two large-scale art exhibitions. Artworks from all eras can be seen there. The number of exquisite works is amazing.
Cui Hu, an old friend from Shanghai, Pan Dun’s “Songyin Art” is back. This year’s theme is “The Bright Moon Shines on People Returning”. Among the exhibits are calligraphy by cultural celebrities, including Zhou Zuoren’s calligraphy, Yan Fu’s calligraphy, and Zhang Chonghe’s calligraphy. , the largest is a front and rear Chibi poem written by Tai Jingnong. Of course, Dong Qiao’s words are indispensable. The theme “The bright moon shines on people and returns” comes from his handwriting. This sentence can almost become the theme of the conference. The word “return” is what people who have suffered from the epidemic for three years have the deepest feelings about. , so another piece of Dong Qiao’s handwriting “See you again when the flowers fall” is also very suitable for the occasion.
Turkish porcelain artist Eko (his Chinese name is Eko) is also here. This Turkish brother who has been stationed in Jingdezhen, China for more than ten years and speaks Mandarin more fluently than 80% of Hong Kong people, brought his latest porcelain. work. Exhibited together with his works are sculptures by Chinese sculptor Zhang Lingyu. It is another display of whimsical shapes. Two artists, one Chinese and one foreign, join forces, which is very interesting. When I returned to Hong Kong from Europe last month, I passed through Istanbul. I originally wanted to find Aike and visit Turkey, but I gave up because I couldn’t get in touch. When he saw me this time, he said it was such a pity. I said we have a long way to go. This time I went to Turkey specifically to have a great time.
Wandering around like this, not only appreciating art, but also making friends, half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next step was to arrange meals to reminisce about the past.
