For one Hong Kong painter, flowers have been the constant companions that have led her to art. “Fapopo” or “Flower Granny”, sold them for much of her working life. Now she paints them. Flowers, especially water lilies, are also recurring subjects in the work of Claude Monet. His love for horticulture and his development of a large garden in Giverny provided pleasure for the eye and subjects to paint. One of the first works Monet painted in his Giverny garden was "Pivoines" or "Peonies", painted in 1887. On show at Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery, “Worlds Beyond Reality – Monet’s Legacy” takes that painting as a starting point for an examination of his influence on other painters, including Zao Wou-ki, Chu Teh-Chun, Lalan, David Hockney and more.

When he was five, Kent Nishimura asked his parents to buy him a guitar. They gave it to him as a Christmas present. As first he wanted to use it to accompany his own singing, but by the time he was six, inspired by solo acoustic guitarist Kotaro Oshio, he knew he wanted to play solo finger-style acoustic guitar.
At 12, he released his debut album “First Step” and started to perform solo concerts. Still not quite 20, he's won praise not only from his first idol Kotaro Oshio, but also from international musicians such as fingerstyle guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel. He's with us right now.
