Children's Creative Arts Exhibition - The Eyes of a Child
01.08.2012 – 15.08.2012
Osage Open
Osage Art Foundation is pleased to host the 9th“Children’s Creative Arts Exhibition” presented
by Hong Kong Christian Service. The theme forthis year is “The Eyes of a Child”. The exhibition
presents more than 100 two-dimensional andthree-dimensional artworks by children aged
from four to six from different units of Hong Kong
Christian Service nursery schools.

Children’s art pieces always radiate joy, love andwarmth, the most satisfied smiles and the most
touching vitality. Everything that happens in theirlife is incredible and fantastic! “Tale” tells ourgrew up memories accompanied by Hong Kong
local street snacks and traditional festivals; the“Sensation” of giving the poor stray dog a bone;the “Imagination” of sleeping on the dazzlingstone bed in the Starfish Palace; as well as the“Dream” of becoming a professional racecar
driver…

Every art piece is created according to our children’s unique tastes. The way they handle shapes,
colors and space are very different from the grown-ups. Through exaggerated facial expressions andproportions, and whimsical ideas, our children have expressed their experiences and feelings boldlyand authentically.

If you look at life with “the eyes of a child”, you will discover that their world is simple and without any
hypocrisy or pretence. One would only find happy companions, loving families and a heart of gratitude
towards man and nature.
Works shown in this exhibition, as agreed by the parents, will be available for sale and all proceeds will
be donated to the Hong Kong Christian Service Children’s Art Development Fund to support children
art education.

ABOUT OSAGE ART FOUNDATIONThe Osage Art Foundation (OAF), established in 2004, works in the areas of cultural exchange, educational
outreach and the building of knowledge. And since 2005, OAF has been promoting cross cultural
understanding through art exhibitions between Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines,Myanmar and Thailand. OAF exhibitions develop from substantial research, aim to make strong statements
about significant as well as emerging artists, and to provide regional platforms for innovative curatorial
perspectives. While the arts from Asia have become increasingly visible both within this part of the world,and globally, OAF recognises that more needs to be done to develop the cultural conversations happening
within Asia. Even today, the exchanges between artists in Asia are too often mediated by global centre inEurope and North America.
Osage Art Foundation is part of the Osage Group encompassing the Osage Gallery, Osage Art
Consultancy and Osage Design.
