CUHK Chung Chi College Presents “Happy Birds, Forest Green” Visual Arts Exhibition by Carol Tsang

The “Happy Birds, Forest Green” Visual Arts Exhibition by Carol Tsang, organised by Chung Chi College (CCC) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is now on display at the lobby of the Chung Chi College Administration Building until 10 November 2018. Decorated with photos of birds and nature, the venue seems to be transformed into a forest, where visitors may feel the freedom and vitality of nature.

 

The Opening Ceremony was held last week.  Officiating guests included Professor Joseph J Y SUNG, Former Vice-Chancellor and President, Mok Hing Yiu Professor of Medicine, CUHK; Mrs. Carol TSANG, Trustee of CCC and Artist of the Exhibition; Mr. Thomas KWONG, Trustee and Chairman of the Steering Committee for Development Office, CCC; Professor FONG Wing Ping, Head of CCC; and Professor KWONG Ho Yee, Chairperson of the Art Promotion Committee, CCC. Over 100 guests and friends joined the ceremony.

 

The Exhibition showcases the photos of birds and nature taken by Mrs. Carol Tsang. Instead of giving a documentary record, the artist creates her own visual language combining photography and post-processing to express the impression and inspiration that nature brings to her. The works are a mixture of a 10-year pursuit of photography, 5-year global exploration, 20-year appreciation of Chinese and Western art, and the philosophy of life of Mrs. Tsang. The Exhibition is also one of the fundraising activities of “Chung Chi Student Development Complex” which aims to establish a better learning and activity environment for bringing out future leaders.

 

Mrs. Carol Tsang, Trustee of CCC and a CUHK alumna, obtained a Master degree in Fine Art at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia and is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society in the UK. Devoting herself to art for over 20 years, Carol has  explored numerous art forms such as ceramics, painting, flower arrangement, art glass and installation, and concentrated on examining the visual language of photography in the past decade. Her works have been well received in various joint exhibitions since 1990 and in solo exhibitions since 2001.

Seeing the Maple and the Water produces a sense of surrealism as it juxtaposes the Kyoto temple with its reflection. The reflection is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, suggesting the artist’s philosophy of being blissfully ignorant.
