Catalogue of solo exhibition by Hong Kong sculptor Mok Yatsan at Grotto Fine Art in 2007. 'As a leading Hong Kong sculptor, Mok's works are well-known for their unparallel craftsmanship, scholarly concept and harmonious blend of nature and artificial elements. Mok Yat-san's new works take on the concept of Chinese landscape paintings and theory. In Chinese literati tradition, landscape is the most important genre and motif. The mountain is both lofty and sacred, and it represents the overwhelming power of nature as well as a refuge for the scholar. A journey to the mountain is often considered a reflection of one's pilgrimage in life... Cast in stainless steel or other "hard" mediums, Mok brings out the substantiality of the formation despite their miniature size. Meticulously carved to resemble Chinese brushstrokes, Mok's mountainscapes brought the traditional texture-stroke into a three-dimensional world.' - Henry Au-yeung. Artist biography is provided in the present catalogue.
