Hong Kong Watch holds art exhibition and charity auction in London
On 24 June, Hong Kong Watch held its first-ever art exhibition and auction, which featured over 20 art pieces and exhibits by 17 Hong Kong artists and collectors, in London. The event welcomed over 30 participants in person, with more actively participating in the online silent auction that had been ongoing since April.
A panel discussion, hosted by Hong Kong Watch’s co-founder and Chief Executive Benedict Rogers, welcomed four Hong Kong artists who participated in the exhibition: Lumli Lumlong, Justin Wong and Mei Yuk Wong. They introduced their artwork and explained the inspirations, creative processes and messages behind them.
We were also joined by Hackney Sunday Cafe who provided freshly brewed Hong Kong milk tea, attracting the attention of many participants who relished this nostalgic flavour from home.
The event also included a booking signing session for Ben’s new book The China Nexus, where he engaged in discussions with participants and artists on the human rights situation in Hong Kong and China.
The event concluded with an open auction of two paintings by artists Lumli Lumlong – Egg Tartnnia and Egg Tart Movement – which attracted attentive bids from the audience.
We extend our special thanks to the following artists and collectors who donated their work and participated in this exhibition:
