The Club hopes to bring to the public awareness of and the appreciation for the art of porcelain painting, showing that this art will last into the next century by incorporating various new techniques and using other art forms to showcase the art.
The Hong Kong Porcelain Painting Club ended the year of 2008 with an International Porcelain Painting ART AND CULTURE SHOW, held jointly with Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium, who kindly sponsored the event. The Official Opening Ceremony was attended by many guests dignatories including Consul-Generals, Mr Les Luck from Australia, Mr Ferry Adamhar from Indonesia, Mr Vichai Varasirikul from Thailand and Ms Florence Hui, Under Secretary for Home Affairs of HKSAR Government, Mr Yu Kwok Chun, Chairman of Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium and Mr Peter Yam, Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Invited guest artists from many parts of the world participated, namely, Mr. Manuel Filipe Pereira from Portugal; Ms Josephine Robinson from Australia; Ms Pimonparn Chandratip and Mrs Vanvipha Attavipach from Thailand; Ms May Cheong-Sahgal from Malaysia and two Master of Arts from China, Jiangzi Province, Mr Su Lihong and Mr Kuang Donggou,. Not forgetting participation of our very own Hong Kong artists, Mrs Lily Chan, Honorary Advisor of HKPPC, Mrs Ida Yu, President of HKPPC, Mrs Janny Chan Wong, Mrs Shirley Wong, Master Lau Chi Yuen and painting members of the HKPPC and other regions of the world. The exhibition provided an opportunity to promote porcelain painting art and culture and also a venue for mutual exchange of the diversity of styles of porcelain painting between East and West. Porcelain artists enthralled and enchanted the public with their demonstrations held daily at the exhibition from November 8-16, 2008. Great artwork pieces were created during the demonstrations. One of the highlights of the exhibition was when 5 great artists, Filipe Pereira, Josephine Robinson, Vanvipha Attavipach, Shu Lihong and Kuang Donggou got together one morning and each started painting on one part of a plate and the plates were passed around until all had painted their story on 5 different plates. The result was 5 fantastic plates painted in 5 different yet complementing styles.
Ms Yumiko Okumura from Japan, Mr Filipe Pereira from Portugal and Ms Josephine Robinson from Australia attended the opening ceremony as our honoured guests. They held painting demonstrations after which the three pieces of porcelain artwork were auctioned off to the highest bidders. These together with charity sale of our members’ paintings raised more than HK$4 million for Project Vision Charitable Foundation that establishes charity eye centers to provide large-scale, quality and affordable eye surgeries to the underprivileged patients in China. This charitable event was well received and broadcasted by local and overseas media.
