WHO
Shum Kwan Yi

WHAT
The young Hong Kong artist’s practice narrows down the gap between traditional aesthetics and daily-life experience in search of the covert meanings embedded in landscape painting. As an ink artist, her latest solo exhibition strives to find new definitions of the shanshui motifs within the context of our society.

WHY
A graduate of the Visual Arts department at Hong Kong Baptist University, the artist spent time in Japan through a university exchange program, which has deeply affected her aesthetic style and perspective.
