Guests visited the exhibition.

Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), the “Roaming Vision + Digital: Exhibition of Ink Paintings by Leung Kui Ting” was inaugurated on Wednesday, 1 June, at 6pm, at the IACM Temporary Exhibitions Gallery. The opening ceremony was officiated by the President of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Ung Vai Meng; the Assistant of the Chief of the Department of Education and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao S.A.R., Shao Bin; the President of Macau Artist Society, Lai Ieng; the Programme Coordinator of the School of Arts of the Macao Polytechnic Institute, Chen Chiu Jhin and the artist of this exhibition, Leung Kui Ting. The exhibition features a total of 28 ink works by Hong Kong artist Leung Kui Ting. A talk entitled “Roaming Vision + Digital: Talk about the Ink Paintings by Leung Kui Ting” will also be held on 12 June, open to the public in general. Leung Kui Ting studied painting under renowned artist Lui Shou-kwan and learnt design with Wucius Wong in his early years. He founded the Hong Kong Chingying Institute of Visual Arts in 1980 and worked as a part-time lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University over ten years. Currently he is an art expert adviser of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong S.A.R. Government. Leung reveals that he feels the external world with the heart in order to achieve the unity of the mind and objects, so as to observe all things in the universe in the form of the objects themselves. Based on the transformation and exploration of Chinese traditional painting, his landscape ink paintings come from his heart and are abstracted from concrete appearance, instead of being mere reflections of reality. Leung invented a digital landscape painting technique which superimposes digital lines and dots on the outlines of mountains and rocks drawn in a traditional way, which makes his contemporary art ink works truly unique. This exhibition presents Leung’s most recent paintings, allowing visitors to appreciate his unusual painting style and techniques and allowing them to get to know a new approach to ink painting. In conjunction with the exhibition, the organiser will host a talk entitled “Roaming Vision + Digital: Talk about the Ink Paintings by Leung Kui Ting”, on Sunday, 12 June, from 3pm to 4:30pm, at the Auditorium of the Macao Museum of Art. Admission is free. The talk will be conducted by Leung Kui Ting in Cantonese, who will share with the audience his artistic process of composing traditional landscape paintings with digital elements, in particular the use of dotted lines, the combination of curved and straight lines as well as the dissection of image, allowing participants to deepen their understanding of his works. “Roaming Vision + Digital: Exhibition of Ink Paintings by Leung Kui Ting” will be open from 2 June and 10 July, at the IACM Temporary Exhibitions Gallery located at No. 63, Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, and will be open daily from 9am to 9pm, including on public holidays. Admission is free. For registration to the talk and enquiries about the exhibition, please call through tel. no. 8988 4000 or 8988 4128, during office hours.
