Artist Bio
Leung Kui-ting was born in 1945 in Guangdong province, China. Starting in 1964, Leung became a student of the noted Hong Kong artist Lui Shou-kwan. He later took up an art and design course at the Extra Mural Department of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Description
In the present work, Leung Kui-ting has created kinetic movement and imagery by emphasizing free brush manipulation. When it comes to perspective, Leung has abandoned tradition by entirely reconstructing the landscape. Mountain and rock formations are reinvented, and trees and streams weave in abstract patterns. The overall presentation of this work is reminiscent of installation art: two narrow scrolls of rolling landforms and running streams which contain all the details of a traditional landscape painting with plain line flowers running down to the ground between two vertical scrolls. This innovative concept breaks away from the traditional appreciation of landscape paintings.
