This is my second invitation to an art exhibition and I am grateful to G Hotel for extending this invitation to me to be part of the launching of Lio Cheung's art exhibition. G Hotel
Gurney is honored to host Lio Cheung, an independent Hong Kong based artist. This is her first exhibition in Malaysia. Lio Cheung presents a set of impressive
works under the theme “Here I Stand” which demonstrates how the external
environment affected her daily life in Hong Kong. The
artworks have developed an
indirect dialogue by questioning the core values of the people in the city of
Hong Kong at the same.
Born in Hong Kong,
Lio Cheung attempts to explore the dimension of human consciousness, also the
relationship between human finitude and the society. Instead of producing art
in a rational process, Lio Cheung prefers to create art that is experimental,
no matter if it seems risky or easy to fail, the unexpected result will make
things more exciting. She believes that art is another platform that can
communicate to the world and a way to achieve a sense of belonging to this
particular place at this present time. Graduated with Bachelor of Arts in Fine
Arts at University RMIT, Lio Cheung continues to pursue her passion for art. Her
ability to capture abstract through reality has marked her entry as a known
artist and brought her to numerous exhibitions throughout Hong Kong. She has also been highlighted in
many newspapers, magazines and got her works exhibited in numerous galleries,
art centres and museums.
The event started off with Mr Michael
Hanratty, General Manager of G Hotel giving his opening speech.
Followed by Lio Cheung whom then gave her speech as well. Giving her introduction about her work so far and how grateful she was to G Hotel for having her.
Lio Cheung presents an artwork of hers to General Manager, Mr Michael Hanratty.
Lio Cheung then took a moment to demonstrate her skills of painting onto a partially prepared using plastic and paints.
Here are some of the art works that is being exhibited. The artworks are expressions of Lio Cheung and her messages on the lifestyle, culture as well as the current issues of the life of Hong Kongers. From being tightly packed in housing estates, 'shopping mall' culture and even lifestyle in the city of Hong Kong among other issues that she has highlighted through her paintings.
