The fifth exhibition of the second round of the "Art><Creativity" exhibition series in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) "The Concrete Jungle" is now open to the public from today (September 26) until November 12 at the Zhaoqing Museum. Hong Kong artist Chan Kwan Lok and designer Alex King interpret the inner self scenery through their distinct artistic creations from different perspectives.
          
     Artist Chan loves nature and his works are often inspired from arbitrary associations with everyday objects. He is good at using rhythmic lines to construct a rigorous yet subtle framework and presents whimsical fantasies in his works. Inspired by a novel about flying spiders that float on the wind, Chan creates a series of four ink paintings, "Song of the Wanderers", to outline with delicate brushwork the perspective of a spider floating on the wind. He hopes the audience will take inspiration from the paintings to gain courage and resolutely set off to their preferred destination.
      
     Designer King shifts his observations to the noisy parts of the city. With a contemporary graffiti style, he transforms obstacles on the street into colourful balloons, forming a rainbow in people's hearts after the rain in his paintings, "After Rain Comes the Rainbow" to express his perception of life and expectations.

     The "Art><Creativity" exhibition series in the Greater Bay Area is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, co-organised by the Art Promotion Office and the Hong Kong Designers Association, with the Shenzhen Fringe Art Centre being the project partner. The second round of the exhibition series earlier featured four physical and online art exhibitions in four cities in the GBA, namely Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Jiangman, showcasing artworks of different Hong Kong artists and designers or design groups.
