This lecture will introduce modern and contemporary ink art, an area of artistic expression that reinterprets traditional ink painting and calligraphy and encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, and even animation. Using works from the permanent collection of M+, the new visual culture museum in Hong Kong opening in November 2021, the talk will highlight important themes and breakthroughs in the development of ink art since the 1950s and artists from diverse backgrounds who have invigorated the centuries-old heritage.
