Blossoming · Impressionism IIGalerie Koo, French May Arts Festival in Hong Kong

Galerie Koo is delighted to announce its exciting exhibition “Blossoming Impressionism II” by Taiwanese - French artist Chen Yi Ching and Hong Kong artist Brenda Hong. The exhibition is an associated project with French May Arts Festival 2023.

Chen Yi-Ching and Brenda Hong’s creations are odes to nature, where their inspiration is both derived from the awareness of nature and life. Both artists took an impressionistic approach, which are expressed as unique forms and substances on paper through Hong’s ink and colour and Chen’s distinctive nihon-ga technique. Through the language of art, the artists express their inner peace with ease and delicacy, creating a meditative and harmonious atmosphere in their paintings.

To Chen, the nature parallels human life, through which one can understand life’s transience. From the materials used in her paintings, to the scenes presented under each brushstroke, her works reveal the vitality and beauty of life. As for Hong, the process of creation seems to be a kind of restoration of nature… and a kind of spiritual healing. She believes we ought to rely on the observation and understanding of life to discover living sensory entities before internally transforming them into subjective emotions.
