The Treaty of Nanking 1842 The Convention of Peking 1998 Calligraphy, Art and History Links Sources Gallery Opus interior, Hong Kong 'Signed and Sealed' is a series of 30 Limited Edition Lithographs by artist, Pat Elliott Shircore. On June 30th 1997, the date of the Hong Kong Handover, that lease expired, the British renounced all claims to the territory and Hong Kong was handed back to China. This series of work pays tribute to Hong Kong's heritage and explores the surprisingly harmonious mixture of signatures, seals and the individual cultural mores which shine through every page of the legal documents as an unwitting expression of Hong Kong's rich multi-cultural legacy, both British and Chinese. Through the fusion of images, textures, colours and tones, the artist has created a truly dynamic series of pieces, now on permanent exhibition at Gallery Opus in Hong Kong. Pat has blended individual elements from the parchments which contain a wealth of beautiful calligraphy and artefacts.
