Event:   David Chan contemporary calligraphy exhibition Opening Ceremony

Date:       30 May 2008 (Friday)

Time:       6:00 pm

Venue:     CityU Gallery, 6/F, Amenities Building, City University of Hong Kong

The David Chan Contemporary Calligraphy Exhibition will be held at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) Gallery from 30 May to 27 June. Thirty masterpieces by Mr David Chan Tsze-Wei will be showcased at the gallery, under the theme “From ‘A Hundred Tastes’ to ‘Forgiveness’”.

There will be a novel demonstration of contemporary calligraphy by Mr Chan at the ceremony, during which he will employ the use of soy sauce to write calligraphy.

Mr Chan is a world-renowned artist. His works transcend the boundaries of traditional calligraphy. He introduces western ideas and colour to his artworks. Not satisfied with writing solely in traditional Chinese characters, he created new Chinese characters and included English words in his calligraphy.

CityU Gallery has invited Mr Tang Hoi-chiu, Chief Curator of Hong Kong Art Museum, Mrs Priscilla Lui, Director of Against Child Abuse, and Mr James Ng Kam-ming, Chairman of CityU Gallery Management Committee and Executive Director of CityU Extension, to be the officiating guests.
