To continue with the focus on South Africa created by the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the South African Consulate-General proudly presents the very first South African Contemporary Art Exhibition 2011 in Hong Kong.
The theme of the photo exhibition includes lifestyle, people and wildlife, adventure and natural scenery, to present the richness of South Africa in different angles.
The groundbreaking event will also introduce the work of an emerging abstract artist Lee Chaldecott.
Oliver Kingston an emerging digital photographic artist has this to say:
“Photography has always held the allure of essence through images. The ability to communicate hidden meanings and subtext has previously been a form of subconscious prompting limited to film and literature. The birth of the digital photographic medium has now changed that in an exciting and beautiful new way”.
An excited Tembi Tambo, Consul-General of South African Consulate-General, Hong Kong/Macau added:
“Through this exhibition, we would like to exhibit the contemporary art and beautiful scenery of South Africa, to introduce South Africa in a different and more sophisticated way than people are traditionally used to. We hope that this first exhibition will be enjoyed by the Hong Kong community as we would like to do a bigger and more diverse event next year. “
