Artist Bio

Description
The present work is the recollection of an installation created in 1996 by Leung Chi-wo. The installation was a carving on the site’s cement floor of a menu from a 1960s noodle stall. When the exhibition was over, Leung made rubbings of the carving and mounted them in the style of a folding screen with Chinese calligraphy and paintings. The present work is a flashback to Leung’s original work and nostalgia for a bygone era. It is the artist’s tribute to his childhood days and by incorporating mixed media with the traditional mounting of Chinese calligraphy and painting, the original work has been revitalized as a new and vibrant artistic expression.
