Artist Cheong Hang Fong (張恒豐) is showcasing his abstract works through an exhibition titled “Stepping Out of the Figurative- Works by Cheong Hang Fong” (走出具象) at Macau Art Garden in Avenida Dr Rodrigo Rodrigues.
According to an Art for All Society (AFA) gallery statement, the exhibition is part of the “As Within, So Without” – The Art of Imagery Exhibition Series.
The statement noted that Cheong uses “coloured layers and abstract language” to convey his feelings about the city and life. Moreover, the exhibited works also document a stage of his artistic development, his exploration from “figuration to abstraction”, as well as a record of his self-discovery through art, the statement pointed out.
Cheong, who was born in Guangdong, received a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM), now known as Macao Polytechnic University (MPU), in 2014, and obtained a master’s degree in Printmaking from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2018, the statement said.
The exhibition runs until June 10 and is open from Monday to Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
