EXHIBITIONS

Hong Kong contemporary ink feather artist Christina Tung Wai will soon be exhibiting in “Awakening Desert - Hong Kong Outstanding Artists Exhibition” held at Hall 9 of AsiaWorld-Expo from 24^th to 27^th May 2023. “Odyssey of Feather” - Christina Tung Solo Exhibition 2023 at Booth 9E11 will showcase 30 of her artworks, including “Miracle 2” with characteristics of the times and “Propitious Portent”, one of the top 500 ink paintings worldwide in “Ink Global 2021”. Christina’s solo exhibition will also feature her iconic feather works that utilise various materials and media – layered texture on flimsy paper, unique visual appeal on top grade Swedish cowhide leather achieved by meticulous techniques, enhanced depth and dimension on Japanese linen paper by mastered wash and shading techniques, a perfect testament to Christina’s poise and expertise as an artist.

In the “Miracle” series, Christina combines the elegance of feathers with the supple texture of leather, transforming over 1,800 little pieces of leather into three immense pairs of wings spanning 30 feet as a blessing to Hong Kong. Upon its showcase in Hong Kong City Hall and Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre last year, the “Miracle” series has gained encouraging feedback and enthusiastic popularity. In addition, it has attracted extensive coverage by the media such as Hong Kong Economic Journal, Wen Wei Po, Jessica Magazine and Capital Magazine, earning the name of “The Wings of Hong Kong”. Not only does It instill positivity in Hong Kongers and wish everyone the courage to roam the boundless sky, but it also echoes the “Lion Rock Spirit”, a “can-do” disposition that defines Hong Kong, that Hong Kongers can better their lives through resilience and perseverance. The coming solo exhibition of Christina will feature “Miracle 2” with an earth-based colour palette. Through her work, Christina presented a wondrous dream, essentially a passionate love letter to life itself. Grab this chance to view Christina’s recent feather works if you missed them last year!

“Awakening Desert - Hong Kong Outstanding Artists Exhibition” is one of the key projects of the “2^nd Belt & Road National Art & Culture Expo” and the “5^th Hong Kong International Arts & Collectibles Expo”. It brings together brilliant artworks from Hong Kong artists across a diversity of categories, including Chinese calligraphy and painting, new ink art, contemporary art, oil painting, watercolour, sculpture, installation art, etc., leading Hong Kong out of being a cultural desert.
