Variegated Memories: The Art of Leung Shek Yuen


  • Sun Museum 1 Sai Yuen Lane Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island Hong Kong SAR China (map)

Sun Museum is pleased to present "Variegated Memories: The Art of Leung Shek Yuen". This exhibition mirrors Leung Shek Yuen's artistic journey through three thematic sections: Huangshan Landscapes, Hong Kong Scenery, and Bird-and-Flower paintings. The monumental grandeur of Huangshan has profoundly influenced his recent stylistic evolution, while Hong Kong's scenes reflect intimate daily encounters. The bird-and-flower compositions, a cornerstone of classical painting tradition rivalling landscapes in technical demand, demonstrate his mastery beyond mountainous forms. Among the 52 exhibited works, Leung's virtuosity shines through: bold ink-wash expressions, splashed-colour techniques, spontaneous freehand brushwork, meticulous gongbi-style detailing. This corpus vividly manifests the artist's refusal to be constrained by any single approach.
