The two-night charity event Reach for the HeART - A Beginning - 心窗 was very successful. The first night of charity dinner and art preview raised an encouraging sum of fund for the programme. The second night of exhibition opening inspired our guests through the vivid and lively drawings of those geriatric patients who benefited from this programme. Besides, we all had an enjoyable time with the acoustic guitar and African drum performances, as well as Chinese calligraphy presentation.

 

With the funding support in 2009, over 31 art workshops were held in 4 hospitals for geriatric patients. We need your continuous support to sustain this meaningful project. It is really important! You can show your support by making your donation to Art in Hospital or by purchasing artworks that are donated by artists particularly for this event. You can also support this programme by spreading out the news simply telling your friends about what we are doing.

 

Sin Sin and the team would like to thank all of your love and participation. We look forward to seeing you again in the next opening reception of DRAMA - 戲 (2000-2010).

Linda Liao's 3D canvas and vivid painting is refreshing Prince's Terrace this summer

 

"Human creates art, art nurtures mankind."

 

Linda Liao was born in 1962 into an enginneers' family in Nanning city of the Guangxi Autonomous Region of China. Growing up in the countryside of this region during the Cultural Revolution, she turned to drawing and painting for refuge.

 

Linda's aspiration for art has never stopped. She took drawing classes, studied oil paintings with artist, and visited museums looking at masterpieces when she was living in Australia in the 80s and Europe in the 90s. Linda has been continuously and extensively reading literature, philosophy, contemporary art movements, appreciating music and contemporary dance.

 

The desire to embrace the ever changing world with a positive attitude and a creative mind has been empowering Linda to explore and discover new forms of paintings and innovative techniques and original forms of composition while material and techniques are playing some substantial roles in reflecting the meaning of her paintings.

 

The latest artworks from Linda have been developed from her monochrome series, transforming the flat canvas into a 3D canvas. Energy from the universe of the mankind has always been a fascinating subject and it is vividly demonstrated in the pieces she has created during the year 2010.

Taiji Qigong Summer Class

 

After practicing Taiji Qigong for several years, Sin Sin has found the greatest strength of bringing mind and body together. With a series of postures, movements in a slow and graceful manner, Taiji Qigong helps relief stress and anxiety as well as improves concentration by the flow and stimulation of Qi (Energy) in her daily life.
