As the name suggests, ink art is artwork that is drawn and painted using ink. Ink artists usually use dip pens or reservoir pens for their paintings. It is an art form with a rich history, and while it has gone through so many changes and does not fit a specific mould, it does hold on to a tinge of traditional influence.&nbsp;

Turning your attention to its history and evolution, ink art is easily one of the oldest art forms, dating back to the Tang Dynasty [618 &#8211; 907AD] and the term was first coined by Chinese musician Wang Wei.
Centuries later, precisely in the 20th century, the rise of Western art made it essential for Chinese art to be preserved. It also sparked the Eastern vs. Western art conversations and other movements.
One such was the Hong Kong New Ink Painting Movement which was started by Lui Shou-Kwan in the 1960s. The movement saw ways to develop ink art by borrowing from its history and combining it with the things that artists learned from nature. Perfectly depicting this is Lui’s series of paintings called the Zen paintings which represented Chinese philosophy while also bringing some focus to Western ideologies.&nbsp;

Another prominent figure in the evolution of ink art is Taiwan’s Liu Guosong. He proposed that artists should give importance to traditional concepts and exude it in their work rather than being completely influenced by Western ones. He did believe that there should be a certain amount of western influence, and this was Liu’s way of modernising traditional Chinese ink art.
In his efforts to develop ink art, Liu introduced concepts such as ‘The Life of a Revolutionary Pen’.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70468 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-27-at-11.58.53-e1679889997170.jpeg" alt="ink art" width="500" height="777" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-27-at-11.58.53-e1679889997170.jpeg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-27-at-11.58.53-e1679889997170-200x311.jpeg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Then, following the Cultural Revolution in Mainland China, Western art started entering the country and began strongly impacting the country’s art scene. This started the &#8217;85-New Movement that focused on bringing prominence to ink art. During this time, Liu Guosong’s artwork was widely displayed in galleries.
After going through centuries of evolution, now in the 21st century, ink art has broken away from many confinements and has taken many forms including sculptors, digital art, videos, and more. Some contemporary ink artists to note are Nakatani Suisen, Zhang Xiaoli, Nan Qi, Lee Chu-Yi, and Tseng Chien-Ying.&nbsp;

From touching on ancient styles to pushing contemporary artwork that focus on topics such as modernisation, consumerism, globalisation, nature, and more, Art Central 2023 had more than 300 artists displaying their work.
Among all the works on display, below are a few of the iconic ones that you should see when you are at Art Central.&nbsp;Do be reminded that all the artwork are aesthetically appealing and unique in its own way, so you will probably end up spending hours exploring every single one of them.
An Aggregation-Space by Seon-Ghi BHAK
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70378 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151.jpg" alt="Art Central 2023" width="499" height="763" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151.jpg 499w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151-200x306.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151-183x280.jpg 183w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151-120x183.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/An-Aggregation-Space-by-Seon-Ghi-BHAK-e1679459532151-400x612.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px" />
Korean artist Seo-Ghi Bhak made his interactive 3D art installation titled An Aggregation-Space, particularly for Art Central 2023. Leaning back to his acclaimed artistic tendencies to use charcoal in his work, the entire installation is made of a metal frame that has pieces of charcoals hanging on nylon strings.
Bhak’s choice of material reflects his love for charcoal and his intentions to spark a connection between humans and nature. As a result, he created the piece to mimic a maze that people can walk through experiencing each chunk of charcoal slowly moving as they pass, thus also provoking the ideology that art is a journey of transformations.
Prelude in A minor Trauma by Clara Wong
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70384 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Prelude-in-A-minor-Trauma-by-Clara-Wong-e1679459833914.jpg" alt="Art Central 2023" width="500" height="628" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Prelude-in-A-minor-Trauma-by-Clara-Wong-e1679459833914.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Prelude-in-A-minor-Trauma-by-Clara-Wong-e1679459833914-200x251.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Clara Wong is best known for having a satirical tone in her artwork, and this one which she calls the Prelude in A minor Trauma also perfectly knocks on dark humour as she replicates a typical artist studio in Hong Kong through this work.
The young Hong Kong artist has voluntarily cramped the space with so many objects scattered all over the place to create a sense of claustrophobic emotion, and also reflect on the reality of living an oppressed life in Hong Kong. Some notable elements of Wong’s installation include a laptop with water dripping on it from a broken pipe, a birthday cake that has been cut, and a mannequin leg on a piano.

Blue Throat: Start the Churning (group exhibition)
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70379 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Blue-Throat-Start-the-Churning-2-e1679459910742.jpg" alt="Art Central 2023" width="768" height="228" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Blue-Throat-Start-the-Churning-2-e1679459910742.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Blue-Throat-Start-the-Churning-2-e1679459910742-200x59.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Blue-Throat-Start-the-Churning-2-e1679459910742-600x178.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />
Blue Throat: Start the Churning is a group exhibition bringing together the works of nearly 20 local artists whose artistic themes focus on the Hindu mythology Samudra Manthana. In this ancient legend, people churned the ocean with the belief that it will produce an elixir which will grant them the gift of immortality.
This group exhibition is a juxtaposition of the way even people living today are continuing to mess with nature through globalisation and modernisation. To further connect to the ancient story, the curators – Chris Wan and Jeremy Ip – have used a turquoise blue flooring that makes it look like the visitors are viewing the art pieces with the ocean surrounding them.
Glows in the Night by Yang Yongliang
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70381 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527.jpg" alt="Art Central 2023" width="572" height="534" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527.jpg 572w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527-200x187.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527-300x280.jpg 300w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527-120x112.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527-500x467.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Glows-in-the-Night-by-Yang-Yongliang-e1679459962527-400x373.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px" />
Glow in the Night shows the intoxicatingly beautiful nights of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau. At the first glance, it looks like large-scale photography capturing a city’s landscape during the night. However, a closer look shows that it is a video with minute details that can be only noticed when you concentrate on each section of the canvas separately.
More like an art that comes to life under the magnifying lens, Yang Yongliang wants to divert people’s attention to the light pollution that is caused because of urbanisation and other modern developments.
reflective connections by Bev Butkow
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70383 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/reflective-connections-by-Bev-Butkow-e1679460079110.jpg" alt="Art Central 2023" width="500" height="786" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/reflective-connections-by-Bev-Butkow-e1679460079110.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/reflective-connections-by-Bev-Butkow-e1679460079110-200x314.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Bev Butkow’s reflective connections is a touch-and-feel-the-art kind of installation that is made of materials that were collected locally. This includes “thread, wool, dressmaking scraps” and more that are connected together to form a floating sculptor that is hanging down from the ceiling.&nbsp;The soft sculptor supposedly mimics a fishing net that was just pulled out from the sea.
Moreover, the South African artist uses mirrors to elevate her art by playing with lights and reflections. Butkow encourages the viewers to have a tactile connection with her piece in order to experience the work as she intends it to be.

Some 500 years ago, the Jiajing Emperor wished to become immortal. To be fair, he has kind of got what he sought courtesy of the Hong Kong Museum of Arts, with the venerable institution having organised a Jiajing Emperor-themed exhibition that brings to life the history of his dynasty through 240 intricately designed ceramics, portraits, and other art forms. Among the highlights of the exhibition is, undoubtedly, a blue porcelain collection set out on a 14-metre-long table by Angel Hui Hoi-kiu.

The Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra is promising to take you on a journey to Mars in 2057. Pre-commemorating this admittedly distant magnificent Martian event will be a scintillating array of Cantonese opera as the perfect sci-fi soundtrack. While part of the event will catapult you to the far future, another will take you on a trip to the past as you revisit many important musical events from the last century.

Commemorating this inimitable icon, Hong Kong Ballet is celebrating her life through an exquisitely conceived and executed ballet routine courtesy of award-winning choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. The dance performance is memorably soundtracked by Peter Salem’s sensational score, while Jerome Kaplan provides the eye-catching costumes.&nbsp;
