In Touch with Hong Kong Artists: Pak Sheung-chuen
Resource Kit Overview
Background Knowledge
Contemporary art encompasses diverse art forms, one of which, conceptual art, is particularly difficult for students to grasp. Pak Sheung-chuen is good at expressing his ideas through conceptual art. His works are closely related to daily life, giving them a human touch, and are easy to understand. He emphasises that his inspirations come mostly from observing and recording everyday objects, reflecting on them and then transforming them into works of art.
This resource kit aims to introduce a new art-making approach, using the concepts behind Pak’s work instead of conventional art approaches. The students experience conceptual art through Pak’s approach and style.
