One of the most amazing artworks that I've seen recently was at the Reveal exhibition at ArtisTree. One of the architects that showed his skill is Edward S. T. Ho - and he is an amazing watercolour painter. It is quite unbelievable that he only started to paint in 2009 when you see his artwork.… Continue reading Edward Ho’s travel journal in watercolour
An almost unknown but very creative exhibition space is ArtisTree in Tai Koo. ArtisTree is a pun for the original word “Artistry” which means “artistic workmanship, effect or quality, artistic ability”. I've been there a few times, first to see the Frank Gehry exhibition about the Opus building and then to see Reveal. Reveal was… Continue reading Reveal and M+ at ArtisTree in Tai Koo
It is a little further away from Central, but it is definitely worth the trip. What am I talking about? The Sha Tin Heritage Museum. I have been a few times now and I always enjoyed it. For instance, the Fabergé exhibition last year was real eye-candy. In 2013 the highlight was the Eddie Lau… Continue reading Eddie Lau and Bruce Lee at the Sha Tin Heritage Museum

This is the first solo exhibition in Hong… Continue reading Art exhibition: Yinka Shonibare at Pearl Lam Galleries
Of course, we also visited the famous National Palace Museum in Taipei - which is probably one of the top two sightseeing destinations (together with Taipei 101) in the city. Everyone goes there to see the largest collection of priceless Chinese artefacts and artwork in the world, including ancient bronze castings, calligraphy, scroll paintings, porcelain,… Continue reading Taipei: National Palace Museum
In front of the Conrad Hotel in Admiralty is an interesting statue - it depicts Hong Kong people live in action. There are business people in suits, children with toys, tourists taking pictures, an elderly man with his bird in a bird cage and a number of different funny characters. It is very detailed and… Continue reading Hong Kong People Statue
I visited the Hong Kong Museum of History for the first time last week, after our visit to the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Liam Gardens - and for sure it's not going to be the last time. It was a very interesting trip to a museum full of great artifacts! The Hong Kong Museum… Continue reading Hong Kong Museum of History
