Osage Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Piao Piao Ran – Recent Works by Lui Chun Kwong at
Osage Open from 9 November to 2 December 2012. The solo exhibition will contain works that hecompleted during his residency at Osage Open.
Piao Piao Ran – Recent Works by Lui Chun Kwong would be a new departure point of Lui’s artistic
career which was set in motion by his exhibition Lui Chun Kwong. You are Here, I Am Not. - From Ho Siu
Kee to Kwong Chun Hei in 2010 at Osage Kwun Tong. The new series of paintings retained the stripeelements but the pictorial harmony often found in his works is being deliberately interrupted byirregular brush strokes and unfilled spaces. A piece of fabric covers the top part of each painting.
Viewers are free to unveil the fabric and inspect what is hidden beneath. According to the artist, theimages and words revolve around the attentive observations of friends, acquaintances and events thatare close to him.

This new series inherited concepts that were well explored in the series Yi Liu Shan Shui (also known as
Vertically Flowing Landscapes). Lui states that his paintings need not be overtly investigated orspeculated. His meticulous attention towards the surface of a painting is evident in both his immaculate
repetition of lines and the figurative images that he drew free-handedly.
The book launch of “You Are Here. I Am Not.” is scheduled to be on the same evening as the opening
reception of exhibition Piao Piao Ran – Recent Works by Lui Chun Kwong. The book “You Are Here. IAm Not.” is published by Osage Art Foundation as part of the “Regional Perspectives” series, an indepth series of publications that aims to build a more thorough understanding of Asia’s culturaldiversity.
Each publication in the series offers objective analysis and interpretation of the cultural expressions
and artistic ideas of creative individuals and allows them to collectively present their views andopinions to a regional and global audience. The series aims to foster intellectual curiosity andcompassionate understanding of some of the things that may ultimately better unite us. This projectwill establish new precedents in making the case that certain key artists from the region have a larger
regional and international significance.
