Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong Museum of Art｜Live: Hong Kong Art Exhibition

Description

Creation begins as an intangible thought before materialising in a physical space. "Live: Hong Kong Art Exhibition" displays the outcomes of creativity and traces the inspiration back to its source. It explores how artists, in the here and now, weave personal experiences, cultural contexts and contemporary sensibilities into their present artistic practices.

The exhibition unfolds through four themes: Urban Stage, Landscape Reimagined, Virtual Reality and Transformation. It brings together 19 artists who are actively shaping the city's contemporary art scene, ranging from established masters to rising stars. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a selection of their recent works across a variety of media—including painting, ink art, ceramics, sculpture, video, installation and multimedia—offering a comprehensive showcase of the exceptional creativity and diverse practice of Hong Kong's artistic landscape.

The exhibition also directs attention to the moments before creation. The Wing (Lower), on the ground floor, displays miniature studios that reveal the inspirations behind the artists' works and invite the audience into a realm where ideas have yet to take shape. The video series Studio and Beyond, guided by the artists themselves, uses their individual studios as a lens to reflect the unique artistic ecology of Hong Kong. This marks the first time the Hong Kong Museum of Art has invited so many artists to create on-site, turning its gallery into an open studio, where the audience can step behind the scene and interact closely with the artists. Through this personal experience, visitors can witness the entire creative process, from ideation and experimentation with materials to the final fruition of the works.
