Wu Guanzhong Art Sponsorship Cross-disciplinary Series: Light Entry

Overview

  • Date
    From 2025.12.23
  • Venue
    Wu Guanzhong Art Gallery, 4/F

Hong Kong artist Flyingpig (Wong Wing-shan) engages in a cross-generational dialogue with Wu Guanzhong's The Window's Eye by creating an immersive installation Light Entry. Responding to the painting's signature act of "framing the city through a window", this work combines moving images with paintings to capture thousands of windows across the public estates lighting up one by one at night, illustrating the humanistic sentiment behind the urban landscape. The work is on display alongside the "Wu Guanzhong Art Sponsorship Thematic Exhibition Series: Wu Guanzhong: Encountering Landscapes", guiding the audience to discover the secrets behind the unconventional creations of Wu with a contemporary mindset.

This exhibition is made possible by "Wu Guanzhong Art Sponsorship: Cross-disciplinary Series".

Reconstructing the Framed Scenery: Drawing the Victoria Harbour

Wu Guanzhong's sketching demonstration at Victoria Harbour in 2002 has become a legendary tale in local art circles. In conjunction with the exhibition, artist Flyingpig will conduct sketching workshops that invite participants to sketch the Harbour from various perspectives, fostering a timeless dialogue with Wu Guanzhong while promoting his principles of art education.

Painting is a journey of discovery where we learn to observe and record subtle changes. Set at the same vantage point as Wu Guanzhong’s memorable Victoria Harbour sketching demonstration, this workshop invites you to reconstruct the Harbour today. Rather than focusing on pure figurative depiction, particpants will explore the landscape through deliberate artistic transformation and re-creation.
