HK Wine & Dine Festival
Joined my friends for the HK Wine & Dine Festival for the first time this year. I didn’t quite expect the event to be so big and so crowded with people. I’m not really into wine, but I find it a little amusing seeing so many people enjoying themselves in an event, I wonder how […]
Hong Kong Arts Centre
Was out in HK Island for a client meeting this afternoon. Across the client’s office is the HK Arts Centre, decided to take a stroll there for the first time after the meeting. By chance, I stumbled upon an exhibition called “The Mind Painter” showing off works of the artist Tam Man Ling. The collection […]
Creating a World of Compassion
Wanted to get into a habit of seeing exhibitions on a more regular basis so as to immerse myself with inspiration from others’ works. I picked Wednesday because that’s when many museums here are free. Kicked off my first visit to see Creating a World of Compassion – Imperishable Affection: The Art of Feng Zikai. […]
Busy (as expected)
Time just seems to fly by when one is busy. Thursday is almost over when I’m writing this, what had I done in the last few days? Participated in a research study and realized I’m negative for Helicobactor Pylori, visited the Picasso exhibition, painting class, etc. And for work, I had done some supporting work […]
Oil Painting Class
Arrived school for my painting class more than half an hour early, for some reason I kept on thinking that the class was starting 15 mins earlier than the actual time. Made a failed attempt to paint a banana tonight, a reminder that I’m still very much a beginner in oil painting. I am thinking […]
Friend’s Wedding
Attended one of the most extravagant but yet least heart-felt wedding tonight. Most extravagant because it was filled with the rich and famous, even the upcoming Chief Executive of the city was there! And least heart-felt because I don’t know any people there other than a high school friend, and I doubt that my friend […]
Earth Hour 2012
At my home studio with the lights turned off, figured this would be a good time to write up my journal using my tablet… It’s the end of March, what have I done this month? I’ve spent quite a bit of time re-designing this personal website while slightly cleaned up the dEEsigners’ website. I’ve also […]
Fotanian 2012
My first time to catch a glimpse of some HK artists’ studios at the Fotanian event was 2 years ago, not long after I came back from Canada. Revisiting the same event after 2 years makes me realize that I still very much want to have a studio space to do some “dirty” experimental work, […]
Detour 2011
Went to Central to renew my passport today, I then had lunch with a friend who works nearby. It’s not that often that I cross the Victoria Habour, so I made the most of it and visited the Detour 2011. It’s nice seeing local artists’ creative use of ‘useless’ materials to make their wonderful installations. […]
Paintings
Took my young nephew and niece to breakfast this morning. There was a small art exhibition by a few Mexican artists in the mall, we spent a fair amount of time looking over the paintings again and again. I was particularly captivated by the series of acrylic paintings of birds (cardinal, blue jay, and a […]
