Foreword
Sponsored by Simon Suen Foundation and co-organised by Jao Tsung-1 Academy and Sun Museum, the Hong Kong Emerging Artists exhibition aims to provide a free platform for young local artists to showcase their works, enabling audiences to discover their artistic styles, and to support their journey towards becoming shining stars in the art world. We also hope to carry forward the vision of the world-renowned sinologist, Professor Jao Tsung-i, to revive Chinese culture, encouraging young artists to unleash their unique creativity while valuing Chinese cultural heritage, producing innovative works that contribute a new chapter to the development of Hong Kong's visual arts.
The Hong Kong Emerging Artists initiative recruits local artists aged 18 to 40 through an open call, selecting works that demonstrate creativity, technical skill, and elements of Chinese cultural artistry. The exhibitions for Phases 1 to 2 and Phases 3 to 4 took place in 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 respectively. A total of 21 artists were selected across these phases and showcased 162 artworks, achieving excellent results and receiving positive feedback from audiences. Building on the success of past exhibitions, the Phase 5 and Phase 6 exhibitions are scheduled for 2026 to 2027. This year, 8 artists have been selected for the Hong Kong Emerging Artists exhibition:
Lee See Wing, Cheung Wing Sum, Lee King Ngon, Chan Shuk Kuen (Moon) for the Phase 5 exhibition; and Mizuki Nishiyama, Cheung Yeuk Fei, Lau Yuk Shing, and Leung Ka Chun (Angryangry) for the Phase 6 exhibition. Their works are diverse, encompassing both two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces in media such as printmaking. photography, Guangcai (Canton porcelain painting). painting, ink art, and seal carving. Coming from various walks of life, they share a passion and dedication to art, creating in their spare time to express distinct artistic voices and present innovative perspectives to audiences, revealing exceptional artistic talent.
Finally, we wish all the artists continued success and shine brightly in the art world.
