Chinese gongbi painting is a school of painting that dates back roughly 2000 years and is characterised by fine, detailed brushstrokes. Multiple thin layers of ink are used to create smooth, realistic and detailed works, usually depicting figures, stories, or natural subjects. It’s still practised today and is a genre of painting that particularly interests artist Cherie Cheuk.

Cantonese art and culture are at the heart of this special exhibition in M+. In the Main Hall Gallery you can catch up with 200 works created from the 1900s to 1970s, many of which are now kept in institutional and private collections, and several of which are on display for the first time

The Muse is a small venue in Yau Ma Tei’s Hotel Stage that regularly hosts art and musical events. Next week, its “Stage for Jazz” series will be presenting guitarist Eugene Pao and pianist Ted Lo. This month, its ‘Opus” series features individual recitals by pianist Rachel Cheung and percussionist Samuel Chan.
And Samuel’s with us right now to tell us about his concert this Saturday.
