Dear Friends,
The Centenary of China's 1911 Revolution:
Paintings and woodcut prints by Fong So
You are cordially invited to the openings of the debut exhibition of Fong So's new series of brush-and-ink paintings and woodcut prints, entitled The Centenary of China's 1911 Revolution, to be hosted by three universities in Hong Kong.
Modern China began with the 1911 Revolution. Over the past 100 years, Dr Sun Yat-sen, his followers and many political leaders have endeavoured to create epoch-making changes in modern China, but their goals have not been achieved up to now. Fong So's new series is an artist's attempt to explore, through a series of artworks, what China has been through over the past century and what the future holds for Chinese people. Special emphasis is given to the unique role played by Hong Kong during this period.
Please take note of the exhibition venues, exhibition time and join us in the opening ceremonies. Please also extend our invitation to other friends. Your support will be most appreciated.
