Arts at HSMC  presents “Flora and Fauna in the Urban Jungle – Paintings by Human Ip” from 6 to 28 March 2018 on M/F, Lee Quo Wei Academic Building. Human Ip is a writer and painter who also engages herself in nature-oriented work.  Her water colour and lacquer paintings of Hong Kong native plants and animals are on exhibit now. These flora and fauna, some recorded in ancient literatures, form an integral part of the Hong Kong ecosystem.

Ip came to HSMC for the opening on 6 March. In an interview, she said that her favourite plant was Hong Kong Dogwood, which was mentioned in ancient literatures as a guiding light to people who went astray. Ip said the flower also lit up her way in times of lost and frustration.

What’s more, come to “Meet the Artist”! Two sessions are scheduled for 19 and 20 March 2018 (Mon and Tue) at 1:30-5:00 pm on 1/F of Lee Quo Wei Academic Building (near the staircase leading to M/F). Ip will share with you her aspirations of literature and art, creative ideas and experiences in nature-oriented work such as guiding eco tours. You can also join Ip for a guided visit to the exhibition “Flora and Fauna in the Urban Jungle”. Just walk in for a chat with the artist.
