The artist Wong Shun-kit says: “When I first saw Hong Kong’s ancient stone carved images, I was immediately fascinated. After I moved to Hong Kong, I quickly became engrossed in creating a series of new works that were heavily influenced by Hong Kong’s stone carvings. My early painting style in Hong Kong changed from abstract paintings to works that combined art and the local context. Because of the unique charm of the Hong Kong’s ancient stone carved lines, I was familiar with the Fringe Club building. Benny took me on a boat to a secluded island, where we toured the stone carving sites and studied the stone wall statues. I was quite moved. So in 1986, an exhibition of my works on the theme of the ancient Hong Kong stone carvings was held at the Fringe Club.
