Event Description

Picturing Landscape is a public conversation accompanying Man Tin’s solo exhibition Mediatosphere: Landscape Interface at Koon Man Space, featuring three image-makers, Man Tin, Dr. Tang Ying Chi, and Wong Wo Bik, who have created works revolving around the theme of landscape. They will sit together and take us on a journey through their unique artistic visions of the natural world.

The discussion will cover how these artists approach the enduring theme of landscape, moving beyond traditional representation. We will see how their creative processes embrace diverse techniques and new technologies, pushing the boundaries of what landscape art can be. Furthermore, we will delve into the artists’ shared perspective that the natural scenery serves as a potent reflection of everyday living, capturing the subtle and profound relationship between our environment and our daily existence.
