Kwong Man Chun Solo Exhibition | Moonlit Dancing

Contemporary by Angela Li is honoured to present the first solo exhibition of Kwong Man Chun – Moonlit Dancing. Kwong specialises in portraying an anachronistic modern memory with unbounded imagination, by using a mix of Chinese traditional mineral pigment, ink and oil paint. Deeply influenced by Chinese South School painting, he creates a poetic and dreamy artwork with a touch of nostalgic stroke.  The exhibition opening will be held on Wednesday 18 January, 2023 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and will remain on view until 18 February, 2023. The artist will be present during the opening.
