Guangzhou painted porcelain or Guangcai is hand-painted glazed porcelain developed by Guangzhou craftsmen in the Qing dynasty. At the time, Guangzhou was the only trading port in China open to other countries, and the porcelain, designed for overseas markets, was designed as an export product that combined elements from Eastern and Western cultures. Its production was once a major export industry, but today there are fewer than a hundred masters remaining in Guangzhou, and less than a handful in Hong Kong. And not many young people are interested in learning the traditional skills.

On show at Hanart TZ Gallery, the group exhibition “Nothin’ Like the Taste of Print” features 21 emerging Hong Kong printmakers who work with varied techniques that include relief printing, intaglio, and stencil. Organised in collaboration with printmaking studio MarblePrintClay, the exhibition examines the semantic aspects of the term “print” itself, including the activity of printing, and the different creative approaches and techniques adopted.
