“Lingnan culture” is the common thread that links people’s values and way of life in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Due to two-way migration, there have always been strong family and business connections between the two places. So despite Hong Kong’s British colonial history, and despite the influence of Beijing, Lingnan culture is considered the root of Hong Kong’s culture.
As the soul and essence of Lingnan culture, Lingnan painting has had a significant impact on the evolution of the style of modern Chinese painting and Southern architecture and design aesthetics.
The speakers will share their insights about the grand vision and the temperament that are unique to
Lingnan culture, in terms of the visual arts, art history, design and architecture. Co-presented with the
Hong Kong Museum of Art.
