Contemporary ink art has emerged as one of the most important artistic trends in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong in recent years. It has attracted significant attention internationally and this is the first exhibition presented in Australia to respond to developments in ink art from across this region.
In the West, ink art is commonly associated with traditional forms of Chinese painting and calligraphy. The exhibition offers new ways of thinking about ink as a contemporary, dynamic, and diverse form of visual expression. ‘INK REMIX’ explores the idea of ink as a contemporary form of visual representation that connects the past, present and future.
