Synopsis

Though often lamented as in 'decline' or even 'dead' elsewhere, painting has conversely gained new vigour in Hong Kong, a place which has embraced conceptual and new media art to a degree unmatched by any other city. Form, Colour, Line's in-depth interviews with Hong Kong painters Christopher Ku, Victor Lai, Li Yau-mang, Lui Chun-kwong, Yank Wong and Francis Yu give readers an update on the scene's most recent developments. The interviews also give insights to the works' personal significance to the artist, and what they say about Hong Kong society at large.
