Hong Kong: Tales of a City (Part II) continues with photographs of Hong Kong which are drawn from the collection of LEE Ka-sing Gallery. The exhibition consists of a suite of 8x10 black and white photographs by YAU Leung made in the nineties, a selection of 16x20 inch vintage photographs by NGAN Chun-tung (50s' to 70s') and 16x20 inch portfolio of toned photographs by SO Hing-keung that were produced in the mid-nineties.
YAU Leung (1941-1997, Hong Kong) is considered one of the most important photographers in the contemporary photo history of Hong Kong, China. With a career spanning over thirty years, Yau had amassed an overwhelming collection of street scenes and daily life of ordinary people which have become important historical evidence and social documents of the ex-colonial city.
YAU's contemporary NGAN Chun-tung (1927-2005) was another Hong Kong veteran photographer. A pictorial enthusiast, his work was carefully crafted and printed with great skill. On exhibit are his vintage photographs.
SO Hing-keung, born several decades later, chose to document the city with an "inner" eye. This also reflected the changing mode of photography during that time, which largely shifted from "street photography" to personal expressions. This series of collaged images were produced from 95 to 97 - a period of complex feelings on personal identity, social and political changes that he layered, and subtly revealed under his lens.
Both YAU and NGAN's photographs are not for sale. For the price of SO Hing-keung's work, please enquire the front desk. |
