Artwork Description

Leung Chi Wo (b. 1968, Hong Kong) graduated with a BA in Fine Arts in 1990, and an MFA in 1997, both from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.Leung Chi Wo’s reflective practice is concerned with the relationship between conception, perception, and understanding, especially in relation to site and history within cultural or political frameworks. Leung’s research interests include art, architecture, Hong Kong identity, and institutional critique. Untitled (Love For Sale) (2014) consists of apparently unrelated visual elements about the Chinese diaspora, the civil rights movement in the United Kingdom, and the 1996 IRA terrorist attack in Manchester. When the viewer pushes a button (a gold sovereign coin minted in 1996 that depicts St. George killing the dragon on the visible side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other) it triggers a chain of actions: music plays, and a large column of stacked newspapers collapses before being reassembled via an electronic mechanism.The viewer cannot see both elements together because they happen in separate parts of the installation, in different rooms. Next to the button, there is a light box and an engraving on aluminium that reads, ‘No politics today!’ – a quote from a Chinese student who shouted this when Taiwanese singer-songwriter Deserts Chang held up a Republic of China flag on stage during her live concert at the University of Manchester in 2003. The image on the light box is the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, a venue for public meetings and political speeches as well as being a concert hall until 1996.The Free Trade Hall was an original site of struggles for democracy but was later sold to a private developer and turned into a five-star hotel, with only part of the original façade remaining. In Leung’s installation, Love for Sale by Ella Fitzgerald can be heard. Fitzgerald last performed at the Free Trade Hall on 8 April 1964, where Love for Sale was recorded with the Oscar Peterson Trio.

Artist Biography

Leung Chi Wo: Bridging Architecture and Artistic Vision

Leung Chi Wo (born Hong Kong, 1968) stands as a compelling figure in contemporary art, recognized for his distinctive approach that seamlessly merges architectural design principles with artistic expression. His journey began with formative studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, culminating in a BA degree in Fine Arts followed by an MFA specializing in Landscape Architecture from the University of Hong Kong – a dual education that profoundly shaped his creative worldview and informs his groundbreaking work.
  • Early Influences: Wo’s artistic sensibilities were nurtured by exposure to diverse architectural styles and landscapes, particularly those reflecting Hong Kong's dynamic urban environment.
  • Founding Para Site Gallery: Recognizing the importance of fostering dialogue between art and society, Wo co-established Para Site Gallery in 1996. This institution serves as a vital platform for showcasing experimental contemporary art forms and promoting critical engagement with cultural narratives.
Wo’s artistic style is characterized by sculptural installations that grapple with spatial relationships and explore how individuals navigate environments. He frequently collaborates with fellow artists, notably Warren, on socially conscious projects like “City Cookie,” demonstrating a commitment to addressing pressing social issues through artistic intervention. His exhibitions have garnered international acclaim, including participation in the Shanghai Biennial (2000), the 50th Venice Biennale (2001), and Gwangju (2002).

Notable Works and Exhibitions

Among Wo’s significant achievements is “Untitled (after Dream of a Path),” currently housed in the Hong Kong Museum of Art. This piece exemplifies his signature style—a monumental sculptural form that invites contemplation on themes of movement, memory, and connection to place. Furthermore, his work has been showcased extensively across prestigious museums and galleries globally, including Long Museum West Bund in Shanghai, cementing his reputation as a visionary artist pushing boundaries within the art world.

Wo’s artistic explorations delve into complex considerations concerning identity and cultural heritage, mirroring Hong Kong's evolving role on the global stage. His dedication to fostering collaborative endeavors underscores his belief in art as a catalyst for social transformation—a conviction that continues to propel him forward as he pursues innovative projects and engages with audiences worldwide.

Technique and Conceptual Framework

Wo’s sculptural creations are meticulously crafted using materials such as concrete, steel, and timber – reflecting his grounding in architectural techniques while simultaneously prioritizing artistic vision. He employs a conceptual framework rooted in phenomenology, examining how sensory experience shapes our understanding of space and time. This approach distinguishes him from many other artists, emphasizing the importance of materiality and form in conveying profound ideas about human existence.

Historical Significance

Leung Chi Wo’s contribution to contemporary art extends beyond individual artworks; he represents a pivotal voice advocating for artistic engagement with social concerns—a stance that aligns with broader trends toward socially responsible creativity. His work serves as an inspiration for younger artists striving to integrate artistic expression with architectural innovation, furthering the dialogue between disciplines and enriching the cultural landscape of Hong Kong and beyond.
