Midsummer 2020, everyone was wearing a mask. Under the shadow of the pandemic, it felt gloomy even on a sunny day. To unwind and meditate, Rainbow Leung and her two students went to the beach to soak up the sea breeze while creating artworks.

At the crossroads of their lives, the three of them returned to nature for answers.

The exhibition will be divided into two spaces. The first one focuses on the interaction between the artists and audiences. Audiences are invited to respond to questions raised by the artists, then their answers are gathered and consolidated in the installation. Through collective ideas, a blueprint of ideal living of community is formed and draw us to review what ideal living is.
The other space is artwork display. Participating artists would show works in response to “ideal living” with their own personal interpretation. The two spaces together form an interesting conversation.

Sketching is the cornerstone for physical art practices and a means for creative expressions. As an independent art form, sketching is primitive, simple and straightforward in terms of visual expression, enlightening and inspiring visual arts thinking.

Transformation is a change in composition or structure. Many creative geniuses express their inner world through their artistic creations. With every experience they have, their creative style, techniques and works change and grow. Art appreciation enables the audience to deeply explore artists’ precious creative journeys, not only their personal life but also their creative vision at different ages.
