This book was created in association with the solo exhibition of Koon Wai Bong at the Museum of East Asian Art, United Kingdom. It features works done in response to items in the collection of The Museum of East Asian Art.
The exhibition encompassed a connection between cultures and artworks of different periods and media. Ink works include paintings on silk in Tang style done with reference to the European Renaissance, reflecting the Christian religious view of the artist. Koon also uses the medium of 'silk cheongsam' to execute ink paintings based on the museum's Tang dynasty bowl carved with floral designs.
Includes catalogue texts by Chung Yupin, Lam Hau Ling Eileen, Pang Yee-wan Tina, Vivian Ting, Frank Vigneron, Chan Pui Pedith, Fu Li-tsui Flora, Emma Watts, and Leung Mee Ping. Preface by Mok Kar-leung, and a Foreword by Michel Dong Lee, Curator at the Museum of East Asian Art.
Also includes artist's biography.
