Heritage Museum exhibition showcases new creation by Hong Kong artists inspired by ICH (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is staging the "HK Snapshots‧City Walks: Fresh Takes on Hong Kong's Art and Cultural Heritage" exhibition, featuring four groups of young local artists, namely the fourth-generation Lingnan School artist Rebecca Lo, the Hong Kong Cheongsam Association, printing studio ditto ditto, and Key-Point Productions. Through porcelain painting, fashion design, letterpress printing and exhibition installation design, the exhibition presents unique facets of Hong Kong's cityscape and cultural personality. The exhibition will run until March 2 next year, with free admission.
 
     The exhibition has been on display at the Hong Kong section of the ninth edition of the Hong Kong-Macao Visual Art Biennale since October 2024. It has since travelled to five cities - Hangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen - and has received an overwhelming response. The exhibition introduced Hong Kong's unique cultural landscape to Mainland audiences. Now, it has returned to Hong Kong with supplementary information about the city's intangible cultural heritage (ICH), delving into the commitment of the artists to preserving, transmitting and innovatively interpreting Hong Kong's ICH and traditional craft skills.
 
     Lo inherits the painting style of the Lingnan School and incorporates the techniques of Western painting to create five porcelain plate sets. She painted local flowers and birds, natural landscapes, and historic buildings on Jingdezhen's white porcelain. With tireless experimentation with paints and techniques, she crafts new expressive forms, revealing colours and intricate variations on the porcelain with vivid detail.
 
     The Hong Kong Cheongsam Association, the protection organisation of the national ICH item, has formed a young designer team to create four innovative sets of men's and women's cheongsams. Featuring the city's unique architecture and memories, the team combines traditional ICH craftsmanship and classic tailoring with advanced technologies such as innovative jacquard weaving and 3D printing, promoting this ICH craftsmanship to younger generations.
 
     Adding personal touches to paper product design with the letterpress printing technique, the printing studio ditto ditto created four sets of printed works, postcards and calendars depicting Hong Kong attractions, scenic spots and cuisine.
 
     Designers from Key-Point Productions have drawn inspiration from flexible street stalls and have incorporated numerous visual elements from old Hong Kong into four foldable exhibition installations for displaying the three groups of artworks mentioned above.
