The Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware is staging a new exhibition, "Hong Kong Artist Dialogue Series: Shape of Tea", featuring 35 sets of tea ware in various types such as tea bowls, tea caddies and teapots, from the museum's collections spanning the Song dynasty to the 20th century, along with 20 sets of new wood and bamboo works created by Hong Kong artists Yan Yung and Inkgo Lam.
Drawing inspiration from the collections of the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, wood artist Yung and bamboo artist Lam integrate the aesthetics of life in the Song dynasty, with rustic simplicity and unpretentious elegance, into daily life. They have created works diverse in form, including small tea bowls, exquisite bamboo carved tea ware, as well as large mortise tea racks and bamboo woven tea tables. They have also created art from fallen tree wood and drawn inspiration from flora and species named after Hong Kong, expressing their visions of Hong Kong in their works.
Venue address: 10 Cotton Tree Drive, Central (inside Hong Kong Park)
