The Hong Kong Open Printshop is currently showing internationally renowned Japanese printmaker Tadayoshi Nakabayashi’s works here for the first time at the Hong Kong Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. The 84-year-old’s works are primarily etchings and intaglio prints. The exhibition features the motif of decay that runs through his career, in a series of prints inspired by the poem, ”Nothing can Escape from Decay” by the late Japanese poet Mitsuharu Kaneko.

Mainland Chinese artist Chen Wei’s “The Last Night” at Blindspot Gallery is a new set of works that follow on from previous series such as “Noon Club” and “New City”. The exhibition title is inspired by Tsai Chin’s song at the end of the film, “The Last Night of Taipan”, an adaptation of a Pai Hsien-yung short story. Chen’s works incorporate found objects, large-scale photographs, LED lights, multi-media installations, and tiles spanning the dark industrial setting of the gallery, to reflect on urbanism and our night lives, and to convey a sense of nostalgia.

Harpist Lillian Kong last performed in our studio with clarinettist Linus Fung two years ago. She is back again, this time partnering flautist Alice Hui. The duo have an upcoming recital this Sunday performing music by Liszt, Ibert, Piazzolla and so on. Earlier this week, they came to our studio to share about that.
