Trees That We're Planting
香港人一直經歷離散,尤其2019年後可謂係又一移民潮。過去幾年,香港人踪跡散落四周,如同延伸到海外周圍撒種、扎根、汲取養分,而四周嘅種子正開始萌芽茁壯。
我哋希望可以透過涵蓋唔同媒介嘅藝術展覽,將香港人種緊嘅「樹」呈現到大家眼前,同時藉拍賣為我哋大家嘅手足籌款。
前人種樹,
後人乘涼,
未敢忘根。
Hong Kong has seen waves of emigration over the decades. With 2019 marking another round of countless farewells to the beloved city, the seeds of Hong Kongers further sprout across different corners of the world, planting roots and flourishing with our collective effort.
Through this cross-media art exhibition, we hope to share with everyone these ‘trees’ Hong Kongers are planting, while auctioning to raise funds for our fellow brothers and sisters.
One sows and another reaps.
Never forget our roots.

Have A Rice Day | 三餸一湯白飯任裝
Alisan Fine Arts is excited to announce the first solo exhibition for emerging Hong Kong artist Charlotte Mui at Alisan Aberdeen. At her inaugural exhibition, Mui will be showing a new series of paintings that were inspired by her mother and grandmother’s home-cooked dishes. The artist makes use of vibrant colours and personified food subjects on a circular paper canvas to depict her family delicacies such as coconut stewed milk, tomato tofu soup, and turnip cake. The title “Have a Rice Day” is taken from the local Chinese saying “Three dishes one soup and rice for free” (三餸一湯白飯任裝), resonating with the whimsical style of Mui’s work. This exhibition is part of Hong Kong Art Gallery Association’s Summer Programme which aims to promote young Hong Kong talent.
