Arbitrary Sketch—Exhibition of Chinese paintings from Prof Lee Yun Woon’s Bamboo Study (Solo Display)

Artist: Professor Lee Yun Woon
Date: 29 April – 10 May 2024 (Extended to 17 May 2024)
Venue: New Asia College Ch’ien Mu Library
Statement:
Professor Lee often says: Painting and calligraphy are pursuits of tranquility and cultivation, personal elegance, and taste. Authentic emotions, comfort, and true nature are sufficient for painting and calligraphy. When one occasionally wishes to create art, it should express the artist’s genuine feelings and style.

After retiring from the university’s art department, Professor Lee was invited to be a senior tutor at New Asia College, where many alumni frequently return to seek guidance on painting and calligraphy appraisal and research. Professor Lee generously imparts his knowledge. On sunny days, with the sunlight shining and bamboo shadows swaying outside the corridor of Humanities Building, casting reflections on the walls, creating a picturesque scene, Professor Lee playfully named this room “Bamboo Study” Thus, the alumni who often return to seek knowledge have become friends of the Bamboo Study. During gatherings, inspired by the moment, Professor Lee would create spontaneous and playful paintings. Following Professor Lee’s special couplet calligraphy exhibition in October 2023, for everyone’s enjoyment, we will display a collection of his paintings at the New Asia College Ch’ien Mu Library from April 29 to May 10, 2024.
