The Six Principles of Chinese Painting—Transmission IV (with Hung Hoi) 繪畫六法──傳移摹寫之四（熊海合作）
2015
To make this artwork, Hung Fai invited his father Hung Hoi, an acclaimed landscape painter, to paint a rock in cinnabar red. He then placed the painting between four sheets of Xuan paper, soaking them in water. For weeks, Hung Fai kept the sheets damp and traced the rock with a black drawing pen. Diffusing ink and colour across the layers, Hung’s process both duplicated and defaced the original image. The work suggests the tension between father and son and the struggle to transcend the legacies we inherit.
