Passing through the Hongkong Central Library in Causeway Bay, I came upon an event - "The 3rd International Forum of Painting and Calligraphy Art Development" organized by the Literary and Art Exchange Association of Asia.
It was a wonderful experience and very satisfying afternoon for me - To be able to immerse myself in deep mental appreciation of one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world - Chinese painting and calligraphy. I am so proud to see how this art form is still growing strong and practiced by many.
The unique aspect of Chinese painting and calligraphy is that it still uses the traditional materials of brush dipped on black or colored ink set against paper or silk. The completed art works are then mounted in hanging scrolls or handscrolls.
Let me share with you the joy and beauty of the various artworks on display in this slideshow:
Have a great weekend!
