HONG KONG,Sept. 15,2024 -- Blue-and-white porcelain,renowned for its jade-like surface and cloud-like blue patterns,is celebrated as a treasured cultural artifact with a history spanning thousands of years in China. In its ongoing commitment to promoting cultural heritage,Temple Mall is presenting the "Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions" art event,running from now until 31 October. The event features an exhibition and photo-worthy installations centred around blue-and-white porcelain.


Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions Art Experience

Local artist Angel Hui has been invited to create four new works that blend the rich traditions of this ancient art form with the unique culture of Wong Tai Sin. Through these artistic expressions,the event seeks to offer the public an opportunity to appreciate the enduring beauty of this millennia-old treasure.

Collaborating with artist Angel Hui to create new blue-and-white porcelain works,inspired by Wong Tai Sin

In collaboration with Temple Mall,Angel Hui has created four blue-and-white porcelain pieces inspired by the distinctive character of Wong Tai Sin. Growing up in the area,Hui often draws from everyday life in her art. Her latest works capture the essence of Wong Tai Sin,reflecting authentic Hong Kong culture. Themes include the local "worshipping and blessing" traditions,the Wong Tai Sin Temple,and the classic "one pot,two pieces" custom of Hong Kong tea houses. Hui masterfully integrates these elements with porcelain patterns from the Yuan,Ming,and Qing dynasties,creating a seamless blend of history and modernity.

In addition to her blue-and-white porcelain works,Hui is also renowned for her embroidered goldfish on plastic bags,a classic series that was previously exhibited at ArtBasel Hong Kong. To complement the event's theme,Hui has recreated nine blue-and-white embroidered fighting fish,which are now on display at the mall,bringing her iconic work to life once again.

For those looking to explore the culture and history of blue-and-white porcelain,the interactive exhibition on the mall's first floor provides a rich experience. Visitors can trace the evolution of blue-and-white porcelain through the Yuan,view Hui's new creations for the event up close,and discover other works of hers previously exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

To promote the cultural heritage of blue-and-white porcelain,Angel Hui will be hosting a workshop at Temple Mall on 5 October. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the art of blue-and-white porcelain and to discover the joy of creative expression.
