An exhibition by Shanghai-born artist Lok Hong (陸康) is being held at the UNESCO Centre of Macau.
The exhibition, which is sponsored by the Macau Foundation (FM), is part of the Macau Artists Promotion Project, and Lok is the 95th participant in the project.
According to an article from the foundation’s website, Lok was born into a scholarly family in Shanghai in 1948 and moved to Macau in 1981. He was taught by his grandfather Lu Danan (陸澹安), a novelist in the mainland who also published articles in newspapers, as a young child to learn ancient Chinese diction and calligraphy.
Lok has authored more than 40 calligraphy books, seal-carving albums and literary works. His works have been exhibited in many places around the world, and he has held solo exhibitions in Macau and Shanghai. Lok has been living in Shanghai in recent years, and his works have rarely been exhibited in Macau.
The event displays 30 selected calligraphies, and 10 sets of seal-carvings.
The exhibition runs until June 29 in two halls at the UNESCO Centre of Macau at 403 Alameda Dr. Carlos d’Assumpção in Nape daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free.
As part of the government’s COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures, all visitors entering the venue must wear a facemask, have their temperature checked and present a digital health code.
